Fondation Louis Vuitton

8 Av. du Mahatma Gandhi, 75116 Paris

Twelve glass sails by Frank Gehry — a Bois de Boulogne landmark saved by an act of parliament.

This guide to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris begins in January 2011, when a judge ruled Bernard Arnault's nearly-finished museum illegal and the cranes stopped. It follows Arnault's unusual response, France's National Assembly, and Frank Gehry's design of twelve glass sails he pictured as a regatta sailing through the Bois de Boulogne. The guide also traces the collection inside, from Picasso to the Monet that was Arnault's very first purchase.
