La Galerie, Louis Vuitton, Asnières

Judith Clark was sole curator for Louis Vuitton's La Galerie, its second private museum based in the historic Vuitton family home of Asnières, in the suburbs of Paris.

Asnières is described as the ‘cradle of the company’, and it is also the site of the original 19th-century atelier, where all special commissions and trunks are still made to this day.

Encompassing an area of 6,500 square feet, La Galerie draws from objects in the house’s archive from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

This new space devoted to the history of Louis Vuitton was inaugurated on 5 July with a VIP garden party and was opened to the public in September 2015.

From the LVMH website:

"Geared to discovery and exploration, La Galerie brings to life the dialogue between artists, artisans and customers that has always been at the heart of Louis Vuitton through letters and sketches, personal effects, historic items, and artworks inspired by the House, one of which – a work by Jorge Otero-Pailos – welcomes visitors as they enter. The ultimate symbol of the creative energy that pervades La Galerie, the made-to-measure display modules were inspired by the shape of a “Pateki” game designed by Gaston-Louis Vuitton."
