The Parisian skyline, already a breathtaking tapestry of architectural styles, received a stunning addition in 2014 with the inauguration of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Designed by the celebrated architect Frank Gehry, this iconic building, with its glass sails billowing against the backdrop of the Bois de Boulogne, has quickly become a cultural landmark. But beyond its architectural magnificence lies a vibrant heart dedicated to showcasing both established and emerging artists, and for a significant period, it played host to a truly exceptional exhibition: *Being Modern: MoMA in Paris*. This unprecedented collaboration between the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Fondation Louis Vuitton brought together approximately 200 works from MoMA's unparalleled collection, offering a captivating exploration of modern art's evolution and influence.
The exhibition, known under various titles including *Etre moderne : Le MoMA à Paris*, *#FLVfromhome : Being Modern : MoMA in Paris*, *MoMA in Paris*, *MoMa in Paris: Fondation Louis Vuitton Celebrates Art*, *Le MoMa à Paris*, *Cet automne, 200 oeuvres du MoMA s’installent à la Fondation*, and *MoMA Comes to the Fondation Louis Vuitton*, was more than just a simple loan of artworks. It was a meticulously curated dialogue, a transatlantic conversation spanning decades of artistic innovation. The sheer scale of the undertaking – transporting and installing such a significant selection of masterpieces – underscored the ambition and collaborative spirit behind the project. The result was a truly immersive experience, allowing Parisian audiences to engage with iconic works that often remain geographically distant.
The exhibition’s title, *Being Modern: MoMA in Paris*, accurately encapsulates its core theme. It wasn't simply a chronological display of artworks; rather, it was a thoughtful exploration of the concept of "modernity" itself. The curators delved into the multifaceted nature of modernism, highlighting its diverse expressions across various mediums, styles, and cultural contexts. The selected works, spanning from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, represented a broad spectrum of artistic movements, including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. This carefully chosen selection allowed visitors to trace the evolution of modern art, observing its shifts in perspective, techniques, and thematic concerns.
