The Facts
The Fondation Louis Vuitton will present "Gustave Fayet, Collector - Designer. Icons of Modern Art" from October 9, 2026 to March 8, 2027. The exhibition brings together more than 250 works from Fayet's dispersed collection and 375 of his own creations, most never before exhibited. Highlights include 10 paintings by Vincent van Gogh, 78 works by Paul Gauguin, 88 by Odilon Redon, and works by Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Paul Signac, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, and Henri Matisse. The show is the result of years of research and collaboration with 64 international institutions and 71 private collections.
The Signal
Gustave Fayet (1865–1925) was a passionate collector, artist, and designer who championed the avant-garde and helped establish modern art, but has since been largely overlooked. This exhibition aims to restore his legacy, underscoring his early support for van Gogh, Gauguin, and Redon, and his influence on the decorative arts bridging Art Nouveau and Art Deco. For collectors and scholars, the unprecedented reunion of dispersed masterpieces offers a rare chance to reassess Fayet's role, reflecting a broader institutional trend of reviving marginalized figures who shaped modernism.
