LVMH Brings Caillebotte Paintings to Its Iconic New York Location

LVMH brings a piece of French art to New York. The French luxury conglomerate’s flagship store in New York is hosting, until this week, a pair of paintings by French impressionist Gustave Caillebotte, known for his urban scenes of Paris. This new collaboration between the Louis Vuitton Foundation and the Orsay Museum in Paris and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles underscores the growing synergies between fashion and art.

On the fifth floor of one of the city’s most iconic buildings, made up of towers of trunks, two of Caillebotte’s most important works are housed until this week. Boating Party, part of the permanent collection of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and Young Man at His Window, acquired by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles in 2021, can be visited until next Sunday, November 16th.

The initiative stems from a partnership between the Louis Vuitton Foundation and the Musée d’Orsay. The company is helping to fund a three-year renovation program at the museum and has supported exhibitions, including the Caillebotte show.

Louis Vuitton donated €43 million to the French state to acquire Boating Party

Louis Vuitton actively participated in the art world in France, with the donation of €43 million that allowed the French State to acquire in 2021 the work Boating Party, classified as a “national treasure”.

The group also contributed to the appeal launched by the Louvre to acquire Jean Siméon Chardin’s The Basket of Strawberries, which played a starring role in Jonathan Anderson’s first men’s fashion show for Dior in June.

LVMH closed the first nine months of 2025 with revenue of €58.09 billion, down 4% year-on-year and down 2% organically. The French luxury group noted a “generalized improvement in trends” in the third quarter, when its sales grew by 1% in organic terms, reflecting a progressive recovery in luxury consumption despite an unstable geopolitical and economic context.
