POSTPONEMENT OF THE EXHIBITION
"THE MOROZOV COLLECTION.
ICONS OF MODERN ART"
22 SEPTEMBER 2021 - 22 FEBRUARY 2022
April 19th, 2021
Because of the ongoing global health crisis, the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris announced today that the opening of the highly anticipated exhibition of "The Morozov Collection. Icons of Modern Art" will be postponed. Initially scheduled for May 12, the exhibition will now be held from 22 September 2021 until 22 February 2022. As France continues to endure the many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the prevention of circulating artworks, the organisation of a major international exhibition was no longer possible for this spring and the Fondation Louis Vuitton was forced to postpone its plans.
About the Morozov Collection
The Morozov Collection is one of the world’s foremost collections of Modern and Impressionist art. It has never before been presented outside of Russia. Its exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton is an event of exceptional historic and artistic significance, just like the exhibition of the Shchukin Collection in 2016, which attracted nearly 1.3 million visitors.
At Fondation Louis Vuitton, 200 masterpieces of modern French (Manet, Rodin, Monet, Pissarro, Lautrec, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Denis, Maillol, Matisse, Marquet, Vlaminck, Derain and Picasso) and Russian art (Repin, Vrubel, Korovin, Golovin, Serov, Larionov, Goncharova, Malevich, Mashkov, Konchalovsky, Utkin, Saryan or Konenkov), belonging to the brothers Mikhail and Ivan Morozov, will be brought together in Paris.
The exhibition is organised by the Fondation Louis Vuitton in partnership with the State Hermitage Museum (Saint Petersburg), the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow), and the Tretyakov National Gallery (Moscow).
