Düsseldorf, 2 November 2022: The travelling exhibition of 200 imaginative suitcases by Louis Vuitton moved from Los Angeles to Manhattan, where it closed its doors at Barneys New York this week. Reason enough to show the artworks and their staging once again.

Conceived to celebrate Louis Vuitton's bicentenary, the exhibition has travelled from Asnières at the Louis Vuitton Family House on 4 August 2021 to Singapore, Los Angeles and finally New York. New York is a special location, as it will also host residency workshops in the near future.

The artistic design of the Louis Vuitton Chest is a tribute to Louis' legacy and brought together talent from the fields of art, culture, science, sport and global concern; hence the name Visionaries. Among the well-known names: Supreme, Gloria Steinem, BTS, Pat McGrath, Nigo® and Fornasetti. The entire LV200 project was a philanthropic endeavour, as the Visionaries donated their entire fees to a charity that aims to help young creatives on their educational journey. Details of this, the Maison Louis Vuitton is yet to announce.

Düsseldorf, 2. November 2022: Die Reiseausstellung mit 200 fantasievollen Koffern von Louis Vuitton zog von Los Angeles nach Manhattan, wo sie bei Barneys New York in dieser Woche ihre Türen schloss. Grund genug, die Kunstwerke und deren Inszenierung nochmals zu zeigen. Die Ausstellung ist zur Feier des zweihundertsten Geburtstags von Louis Vuitton konzipiert, und reiste seit der Premiere am 4. August 2021 in Asnières im Louis Vuitton Family House über Singapur und Los Angeles, bis hin zu New York. New York ist ein besonderer Standort, denn dort werden in naher Zukunft auch Residenz-Workshops abgehalten werden.

Die künstlerische Gestaltung der Louis Vuitton Truhe ist eine Hommage an Louis' Vermächtnis und brachte Talente aus den Bereichen Kunst, Kultur, Wissenschaft, Sport und globales Anliegen zusammen; daher die Bezeichnung Visionäre. Unter den bekannten Namen: Supreme, Gloria Steinem, BTS, Pat McGrath, Nigo® und Fornasetti.

Das gesamte LV200-Projekt war ein philanthropisches Unterfangen, denn die Visionäre spendeten ihre gesamtes Honorars an eine Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen, die junge Kreative auf ihrem Bildungsweg begleiten soll. Einzelheiten hierzu, will das Maison Louis Vuitton noch bekannt geben.
