Louis Vuitton is constructing a permanent Frank Gehry-designed art foundation in Paris, and is giving a preview of some of its treasures with an ambitious exhibition in Hong Kong.

Called ‘Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation’, it is slated to run from 22 May 2009 to 9 August 2009 at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. It will recount the French luxury firm’s long association with the art world, from the Art Deco designers who collaborated with the founder’s grandson on trunks to more recent hook-ups on leather goods with contemporary art stars such as Takashi Murakami (shown above, ‘Eye Love Superflat’), Richard Prince, and several others.
