Cette impressionnante sculpture représente un soleil fait d’or rayonnant sur la façade. Avec cette pièce d’art inattendue et surprenante, Louis Vuitton suscite l’intérêt des touristes pour son établissement mais aussi pour l’Art. Ce soleil grandiose rappelle le symbole même du Roi Soleil et du prestige souhaité lors de la construction du Château de Versailles.
Avec cette référence au Roi Soleil, Louis Vuitton a fait savoir au monde entier qu’il rayonne sur le monde du luxe et n’a pas de concurrents sérieux à son niveau de gloire et de prestige. Pour cela, le groupe LVMH a donné carte blanche à Peter Marino, l’atypique architecte qui a déjà réalisé pour le groupe de nombreux projets.
Amazing modern architecture by Frank Gehry. Mind you, I am not sure I really liked it. In collaboration with PKC Fowler.
The building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation (previously Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, in French "Fondation Louis-Vuitton pour la création"), started in 2006, is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH and its subsidiaries. It is run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity as part of LVMH's promotion of art and culture.The $143 million museum in Paris was opened in October 2014. The building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. In 2001, Bernard Arnault, the Chairman of LVMH, met Frank Gehry, and told him of plans for a new building for the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. The building project was first presented in 2006, with costs estimated at around €100 million ($127 million) and plans to open in late 2009 or early 2010. Suzanne Pagé, then director of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, was named the foundation’s artistic director in charge of developing the museum's program. The city of Paris which owns the park granted a building permit in 2007. In 2011, an association for the safeguard of the Bois de Boulogne won a court battle, as the judge ruled the centre had been built too close to a tiny asphalt road deemed a public right of way. Opponents to the site had also complained that a new building would disrupt the verdant peace of the historic park. The city appealed the court decision. Renowned French architect Jean Nouvel backed Gehry and said of the objectors: "With their little tight-fitting suits, they want to put Paris in formalin. It's quite pathetic." Eventually a special law was passed by the Assemblée Nationale that the Fondation was in the national interest and “a major work of art for the whole world,” which allowed it to proceed. The museum opened to the public in October, at a reported cost of $143 million. Before the official opening, it provided the venue for Louis Vuitton’s women’s spring/summer 2015 fashion show. In May 2017, Marianne, a French news magazine, revealed the final cost of the building: €780 million, close to $900 million. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Vuitton_Foundation

La Samaritaine est un grand magasin situé à Paris entre la rue de Rivoli et la Seine, à l'aplomb du pont Neuf dans le 1er arrondissement de Paris. Fondée en 1870 par Ernest Cognacq, La Samaritaine, devenue déficitaire, est rachetée par LVMH et ferme en 2005 pour réaménagement de ses bâtiments et mise aux normes de sécurité. La Samaritaine reste, jusqu'à sa fermeture, le grand magasin parisien le plus important par sa taille, avec ses quatre magasins totalisant une surface de vente de 48 000 m2.
La réouverture de La Samaritaine (réduite à 10 000 m2 contre 30 000 m2 avant 2005), a pris 10 ans de retard en raison de multiples péripéties (des recours juridiques et la pandémie de Covid-19) et a finalement lieu le 23 juin 2021.
Ses bâtiments de style art nouveau et art déco sont l'œuvre des architectes Frantz Jourdain et Henri Sauvage ; le magasin principal est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques.

The $143 million museum in Paris opened in October 2014. The new building was designed by architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
The two-story structure has 11 galleries of different sizes (in total 12,600 m2, a voluminous 350-seat auditorium on the lower-ground floor and multilevel roof terraces for events and art installations. Gehry had to build within the square footage and two-story volume of a bowling alley that previously stood on the site; anything higher had to be glass. The resulting glass building takes the form of a sailboat's sails inflated by the wind. These glass sails envelop the "iceberg", a series of shapes with white, flowery terraces. The galleries on the upper floors are lit by recessed or partially hidden skylights. According to Gehry's office, more than 400 people contributed design plans, engineering rules, and construction constraints to a shared Web-hosted 3D digital model. The 3,600 glass panels and 19,000 concrete panels that form the façade were simulated and then moulded by industrial robots working off the common model. STUDIOS architecture was the local architect for the project spearheading the transition from Gehry's schematic design through the construction process in Paris to building space. Construction began in March 2008. The realization of the 38,400 m2 project required innovative technological developments, from the design phase with the use of 3D design software, Digital Project, specially adapted for the aviation industry. All teams in project management have worked simultaneously on the same digital model so that professionals can exchange information in real time. The teams participating in the construction of the building have been awarded several architectural awards in France and the USA.
Le groupe LVMH, le numéro un mondial du luxe, propriétaire de la fondation d’art contemporain Louis-Vuitton, qui a ouvert à deux pas de là en octobre, a hérité de la gestion du Jardin d'acclimatation dans les années 1980, au moment du rachat de la société textile Boussac. Une concession qui doit être renouvelée l’an prochain et que le groupe entend bien conserver. Pour cela, le groupe prépare un plan pour redonner un second souffle au site.

One of the earliest ads I've found for Zenith Time Company watches; however, this watch appears to have a mechanical movement. The company which produced Zenith Time watches was owned by the Zenith Radio Corporation at the time. The classic Zenith Radio Corporation advertising slogan is there in the ad -- "The quality goes in before the name goes on". Zenith SA is still manufacturing watches in Switzerland today. It was purchased by LVMH in November 1999, becoming one of the several brands in their watch and jewelry division.
Here is more information on the Zenith Time Company.
In 1971, Zenith Radio Corporation acquired a majority interest in the Movado-Zenith-Mondia Holding Company of Switzerland. The Swiss Zenith watch company was founded in 1865. Prior to the acquisition, Zenith watches had won many prizes for their precision and quality in the Swiss watch industry. Movado was established in 1881, and the company was well-known in the United States in 1971 as a prestige line of fine watches. Founded in 1905, the Mondia company made a line of watches in the moderate priced field.
Zenith Radio Corporation's foray into watchmaking was short-lived. In 1978, the company exited the field when they sold off their money-losing Swiss watchmaking subsidiary.
It is interesting to note that watchmaker Charles Vermot is honored on the current Zenith SA watch company's website. In 1975, according to the Zenith website, he hid the plans, parts, and tools required to make mechanical movements in order to save them from destruction. This was following the decision of the company that owned Zenith at the time (the not to be named Zenith Radio Corporation) to limit production to quartz watches only.
With mechanical watches back in demand in 1984, Charles Vermot gave Zenith back the production tools that he had kept safely hidden. As a result, production of the company's El Primero movement began once more.

In June 2017 I was invited to visit LVMH's wine estate in northwest Yunann Province, China, near the Tibetan border. This is one of the world's most remote, high altitude estates, with vineyards ranging from 2200m to 2600m above sea level. The views are breath-taking (as is the lack of oxygen at this altitude), the culture an interesting blend... and the wine being made there is very good indeed.
La fondation Louis Vuitton pour la création n'ouvrira qu'en 2014, mais l'oeuvre de Frank Gehry à déjà bien pris forme dans le bois de Boulogne, le bâtiment promet d'être pour le moins intéressant, pour le mieux incontournable comme tout ce que fait Frank Gehry.
Constitué de 12 voiles de verres, avec une structure apparente en bois, il s'intègre dans son environnement boisé en reprenant différentes références aux constructions faisant appel au verre dans Paris.
Il est fort probable que je retournerai à cet endroit pour quelques autres prises de vues…
Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation (Fondation Louis-Vuitton pour la création): future art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH.
