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 but run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity〔Steven Erlanger and Marie-Pia Gohin (April 7, 2011), (Tycoon’s Project: Nimby With a French Accent ) ''New York Times''.〕 as part of its promotion of art and culture. The $143 million〔Steven Erlanger and Marie-Pia Gohin (April 7, 2011), (Tycoon’s Project: Nimby With a French Accent ) ''New York Times''.〕 museum in Paris has recently been completed and is opened in October 2014. The new 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. ==History== 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〔Kim Willsher (October 3, 2006), (Is it a cloud? Is it a cocoon? Gehry's Paris museum unveiled ) ''The Guardian''.〕 ($127 million) and plans to open in late 2009 or early 2010.〔Alan Riding (October 3, 2006), (Vuitton Plans a Gehry-Designed Arts Center in Paris ) ''New York Times''.〕 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.〔Alan Riding (October 3, 2006), (Vuitton Plans a Gehry-Designed Arts Center in Paris ) ''New York Times''.〕 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.〔Henry Samuel (February 6, 2011), (World's top architect Frank Gehry brands Paris residents 'philistines' after planning permission revoked ) ''Daily Telegraph''.〕 Opponents to the site had also complained that a new building would disrupt the verdant peace of the historic park.〔Hannah Elliott (April 7, 2011), (LVMH Moves Forward With Gehry Art Museum ) ''Forbes''.〕 The city appealed the court decision.〔Steven Erlanger and Marie-Pia Gohin (April 7, 2011), (Tycoon’s Project: Nimby With a French Accent ) ''New York Times''.〕 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."〔Jay Merrick (October 21, 2014), (Frank Gehry's new Paris mega gallery ) ''The Independent''.〕 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.〔Rowan Moore (October 19, 2014), (Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris review – everything and the bling from Frank Gehry ) ''The Guardian''.〕 The museum opened to the public in October, at a cost of reportedly $143 million.〔Paul Goldberger (September 2014), (Gehry’s Paris Coup ) ''Vanity Fair''.〕 Before the official opening, it provides the venue for Louis Vuitton’s women’s spring/summer 2015 fashion show.〔Adam Thomson (October 1, 2014), (The Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris ) ''Financial Times''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Vuitton Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
