Passionné par les arts et la culture du Japon, Paul Jacoulet s initie dès son plus jeune âge aux arts graphiques et à la musique traditionnels. Doté d un véritable talent, il deviendra l un des derniers grands maîtres de l ukiyo-e, l estampe japonaise gravée sur bois. A travers l exposition Un artiste voyageur en Micronésie, l univers flottant de Paul Jacoulet , et pour la première fois en Europe, le musée du quai Branly réunit un ensemble remarquable des travaux graphiques de Paul Jacoulet entre 1920 et la fin des années 1950, tous issus de la donation de Mme Thérèse Jacoulet-Inagaki, fille adoptive de l artiste. Dans l ouvrage, plusieurs grandes thématiques permettent de voyager dans son oeuvre abondante et singulière : de la vision d artiste-ethnographe d un ailleurs à l intime des insulaires rencontrés, en passant par le tatouage et les parures. ** Exemplaire (s) : Imprimés section Magasin, IN-4 30853 "L' Atlantique noir" de Nancy Cunard [Texte imprimé] : Negro Anthology 1931-1934 / coordonné par Sarah Frioux-Salgas. - Paris : Musée du quai Branly, 2014. - 1 vol.

(non paginé) : ill. en noir ; 21 cm. Numérotation et dates : 1 Dans les années folles, le 6, Impasse de la Défense était un cabaret, un hôtel d'amour et une salle de bal. Haut lieu de fête et de plaisir, la guinguette Chez Isis attirait une clientèle venue s'encanailler aux portes de Paris. Malgré nos recherches, nous n'avons retrouvé aucune photographie datant de cette période. Nous avons donc décidé de collectionner des photographies originales d autres bals, cabarets et bordels de la même époque à Paris et dans d'autres villes. Ces 'vraies/fausses' archives représentent notre projection imaginaire de l'histoire du lieu. La collection des archives a ensuite été vendue aux enchères le 30 juin 2010 lors d une grande soirée au BAL et a fait l'objet d'une publication (note de l'éditeur). ** Exemplaire (s) : Imprimés section Magasin, IN-8 28275 Imprimés section Réserve, RLPF 11851 Cinéma muséum : le musée d'après le cinéma : [Brian De Palma, Ryan Gander, Jean-Luc Godard, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Fabrice Lauterjung, Mark Lewis, André Malraux, Chris Marker, Tony Smith] / textes de Bruno Nassim Aboudrar, Teresa Castro, Térésa Faucon...

    APPLAUDING ALBER UMA THURMAN AND GIAMBATTISTA VALLI WERE AMONG FERRAGAMO THOSE SALUTING ALBER ELBAZ AT BARNEYS NEW YORK ON HIS EXPANDS 10TH ANNIVERSARY AT LANVIN. ON FIFTH. PAGE 9 PAGE 12 LUXURY 101 Arnault Preaches A Long-Term View By MILES SOCHA PARIS — Fifty years from now, will people still be using WWD iPhones? Who knows, but luxury titan Bernard Arnault is certain they’ll still be sipping Dom Perignon. Addressing back-to-back shareholders’ meetings FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012 Q WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY Q $3.00 for LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior SA, Arnault lobbed that analogy as he discussed the importance of taking a long-term perspective in business — and innovating constantly — especially amidst foggy economic circumstances. “It is we who create the future of our business,” Arnault said in an upbeat, at times professorial ad- dress that held an audience numbering more than 1,000 rapt in a vast hall at the Carrousel du Louvre here. “It’s not what we will do today, but what we will do in 10 to 15 years.” Arnault trumpeted that 2011 was another “vintage” year for LVMH, with profits from continuing opera- tions advancing 22 percent to 5.26 billion euros, or $7.1 billion, outpacing the growth in sales, up 16 percent to 23.66 billion euros, or $32.94 billion, as reported. LVMH’s chairman and chief executive officer said he expects the good times to continue rolling, noting that business in the first quarter was better than the fourth quarter of 2011, when sales advanced 20.4 per- cent to 7.35 billion euros, or $9.92 billion.

  • LVMH's Bid for Tiffany &
    N9-921-049 MARCH 22, 2021 GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN JULIAN ZLATEV RASEEM FAROOK LVMH‘s Bid for Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1837, Tiffany & Co. had a proud history as one of the most iconic designers of luxury jewelry in the world. Its signature blue box was known by high-end consumers globally, and classic movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s gave it a permanent place in American culture. In recent times however, the company had been struggling with growth, as annual sales and profit were on a decline since 2015. Though it managed to achieve a revenue turnaround in 20171, profits continued to drop through 2018. As a result, Tiffany’s shareholder returns suffered, underperforming both the S&P 500 Index and S&P Consumer Discretionary Index over the past five years (See Exhibit 1). Rumors that LVMH, the biggest luxury goods conglomerate in the world, wanted to acquire Tiffany started circulating in the industry in the fall of 2019. In response to these rumors, LVMH, on October 28th, 2019, confirmed that it had held preliminary discussions regarding a possible transaction with Tiffany. LVMH clarified that there was no assurance that these discussions would result in any agreement.2 LVMH’s Chairman and CEO, Bernard Arnault, had built LVMH into a powerhouse with more than €50 billion in annual revenue by pursuing a relentless acquisition strategy and now looked at Tiffany to be the crown jewel atop his luxury empire.3 LVMH initially made an offer of $120 per share4 to acquire Tiffany but the bid was promptly rejected by Tiffany’s board.

  • Money Meets Art: the Rise of the Private Galleries by Edwin Heathcote Published: March 24 2011 16:09 | Last Updated: March 24 2011 16:09
    Financial SPECIAL REPORTS Close Money meets art: the rise of the private galleries By Edwin Heathcote Published: March 24 2011 16:09 | Last updated: March 24 2011 16:09 On display: visitors are reflected in Jeff Koons’ ‘Cracked Egg’ at the opening in 2008 of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art The Wunderkammer, the fabled “cabinet of curiosities”, has, over the past half a millennium, gone from a private amusement for the wealthy to the hub around which every post-industrial, secular city now seems to revolve. Huge, expensive museums, from London’s Tate Modern to Bilbao’s Guggenheim, are trumpeted as vehicles for regeneration, as contemporary cathedrals where modern art has replaced the objects of pilgrimage. But, after two centuries of seemingly unstoppable expansion, the publicly funded mega-museum has begun to fade. The era of huge new structures to display both art and architecture is coming to an end. It might be down to oversupply, a squeeze on public funds or ennui, but there is another reason, too. The roots of the museum have been rediscovered in the eponymous, privately funded collection, the plaything of the wealthy. A tranche of new galleries is opening across the world, each displaying the insatiable appetite of the wealthy for art. The vast prices commanded by the best pieces from the most desirable modern artists have left public museums behind. Both the big-ticket names – Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, Wassily Kandinsky, even the prolific Pablo Picasso – and the highly prized (and priced) darlings of the contemporary scene, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Damien Hirst, Richard Prince to Jeff Koons, are now accessible only to oligarchs.

  • Exclusively for Everybody
    º SPECIAL REPORT LUXURY DECEMBER 13TH 2014 Exclusively for everybody 20141213_SRluxury.indd 1 02/12/2014 17:18 SPECIAL REPORT LUXURY Exclusively for everybody The modern luxury industry rests on a paradox—but is thriving nonetheless, says Brooke Unger AT THE TRANG TIEN PLAZA shopping mall in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, on some evenings a curious spectacle unfolds. Couples in wedding fin- erypose forphotographsin frontofilluminated shop windows, with Sal- vatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton and Gucci offering the sort of backdrop for romance more usually provided by the sea or the mountains. The women are not wearing Ferragamo’s ara pumps, with their distinctive bows, or toting uitton’s subtly monogrammed handbags. They cannot ¢ afford them. Tr¡an Cuon, who assembles mobile phones at a Sam- sung factory, posed with his fiancée in a brown suit and bow tie that cost him the equivalent of $150. Some day he hopes to become a customer in the mall. Until then, he will proudly display the photos in his home. To stumble across an out- post of European luxury in a rela- tively poor and nominally social- ist country is not all that sur- prising. Luxuries such as silk have travelled long distances for many centuries, and even modern lux- CONTENTS ury-goods makers have been pur- suing wealth in new places for 3 Definitions more than a century.

  • The Contemporary Art Market Between Stasis and Flux Olav Velthuis
    introduction the contemporary art market between stasis and flux olav velthuis The contemporary art market is in flux, or so it seems.1 Predominantly in the last two decades, new institutions have emerged, while the power dynam- ics between existing ones have changed. Artists and collectors from emerging economies in Asia and Latin America are rapidly making inroads into the global art field, resulting in a deterritorialization of the art mar- ket. New digital technologies are in the process of reconfiguring the ways art is marketed: the first online art fairs are operational, as Noah Horowitz discusses in this volume, and, especially at the top end of the market, sales are regularly taking place through deal- ers sending jpegs to anonymous collectors. More- over, the role of experts within the art market has been amended. The influence of public museums and other institutions whose stake in the art world seems to be untainted by monetary interests has declined, while the grip of ever-richer private collectors on the ca- reers of artists and the art world’s valuation regimes is becoming stronger. In this introduction I review these changes criti- cally. The evidence pointing at flux is pervasive: I will show that the interrelated trends of commercialization, olav velthuis 17 globalization, and financialization have produced new their peers.”4 In pursuing this financial gain, contem- regimes of value within the market and have recon- porary artists have become increasingly savvy, often figured pre-existing market logics. Nevertheless, I in conjunction with art dealers, about developing their will subsequently make the case that the art market careers, aligning themselves with powerful taste mak- can be seen as a market in stasis as well.
