Since its opening in Venice the last year the Louis Vuitton espace expose some masterpieces of venetian art which restoration
is paid by the Maison Vuitton . The long term partnership with the Musei Civici Veneziani create a links between ancient and
contemporary art.
The exposition includes 25 photos of Mariano Fortuny, part of the
collection of Palazzo Fortuny (Campo San Beneto, Venice) together with films and books and designs of the famous Japanese manga artist Jirô Taniguchi .
Both represent
Venice, the past and the present, the black and white photos of Mariano Fortuny and the
designs made by Taniguchi. Venice has changed a lot in the last century : the
women taking the water from the well, the fishermen carrying the basket to the
market, the European aristocracy visiting the city, the dresses created by
Fortuny and his factory to produce fabrics and printed textiles.
