Nocturne David Hockney 25: the closing evening of the exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton

The Fondation Louis Vuitton treats us to a colorful and offbeat final evening around the David Hockney 25 exhibition! Join us this Friday, August 29, 2025 for a musical and arty nocturne on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne.

At the Fondation Louis Vuitton, spring and summer are lived in technicolor! The closing evening and final nocturne of "David Hockney 25" - the most lavish exhibition ever devoted to the artist - blossoms this Friday, August 29, 2025, from 7pm to 11pm, in the museum in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. An evening where artistic effervescence meets unbridled coolness, to plunge headfirst into the world of color giant David Hockney. Since the 60s, the artist has transformed each canvas into a veritable garden of light and form. In this exhibition, his iconic swimming pool(A Bigger Splash) rubs shoulders with Californian landscapes and Yorkshire gardens, while daring to create cutting-edge digital works on iPads.
