Cultural Olympiad of Paris 2024: a program that bridges the arts, sports and the Olympic values spotlighting the engagement of our Maisons

As a premium Partner of Paris 2024, LVMH is making an active contribution to the cultural resonance of these Olympic and Paralympic Games, organizing a unique agenda of artistic events as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Throughout the summer, LVMH will present a compelling program that bridges the arts, sports and the Olympic values, spotlighting the engagement of Berluti, Dior, Guerlain, Louis Vuitton, La Samaritaine and the Fondation Louis Vuitton.

Guerlain presents “OR NORME”, an art exhibition celebrating gold, the precious metal that inspires athletes and sparks dreams the world over.   

The Olympic & Paralympic Games Paris 2024 bring Guerlain a special opportunity to celebrate gold, the precious metal that inspires athletes and sparks dreams the world over. Gold has exerted an irrepressible fascination throughout the ages, transcending its physical nature to become a universal symbol of value and excellence. Gold has been intimately linked to the history of Guerlain and its products, from the first Bee bottle created in 1853, to contemporary interpretations. 

Curated by Jean-Luc Monterosso and Benoît Baume, the OR NORME exhibition features works by 16 artists who explore the dreamlike dimensions of gold through various mediums and interpretations: They include Carolle Benitah, Paul Cupido, Harald Gottschalk, Graphset and Amandine Besacier, Morvarid K, Yves Klein, Enzo Lefort, Cédric Matet, Pedro Motta, Isabel Muñoz, Martin Parr, Pierre and Gilles, Georges Rousse, Rodolphe von Gombergh, Wiktoria Wojciechowska and Sophie Zénon. From Carolle Benitah’s gold inlay and gold leaf in works by Georges Rousse and Yves Klein, to Martin Parr’s ironic gold bars, gold is interpreted in a variety of poetic and contemporary forms.  

Guerlain also commissioned two original works for the event: a unique print on glass and 24-carat gold by Spanish photographer Isabel Muñoz, and an innovative optical experience by the creative duo Graphset and Amandine Besacier. Illuminated in golden hues, the exhibition is a moving panorama of the history of photography that showcases the exceptional artistic and esthetic heritage of Maison Guerlain.  

Discover the exhibition between June 6 and September 12 at 68 avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris
