Lambert Collection
Museum of contemporary art displaying the works donated to the French government by the famous art dealer Yvon Lambert. The Collection Lambert now displays permanent and temporary exhibitions. The Collection Lambert in Avignon was founded in 2000 by Yvon Lambert, seeking to open his personal collection of contemporary art to the public, within the walls of the city mansion known as the Hôtel de Caumont. This collection of contemporary art reflects the major movements in the art of our times: Minimal art, Conceptual art, Land art, painting from the 1980's, video and photography from the 1990's. The collection holds works from great artists such as: Cy Twombly, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Niele Toroni,Jean-Michel Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer, Christian Boltanski, Nan Goldin,Douglas Gordon and Jenny Holzer whose work can be seen throughout the year, alternating or in temporary exhibitions. Since the month of July 2015, the new museum, with twice the display area, is open. The two mansions, built side by side - the Caumont House and the Montfaucon House, now display a permanent exhibition of the collections. There is a program of guided tours on themes relating to the temporary exhibits and the architectureof the place. There are conferences and workshops for children.

NEW EXHIBITION FROM JUNE 30TH TO MARCH 2020- UN ART DE NOTRE TEMPS #2
From date 11 June 2019 to date 31 March 2020
A partir du 30 juin 2019, le musée poursuit la série de présentations des œuvres de la Collection Lambert, intitulée Un art de notre temps #2, et explore dans un large panorama sensible la singularité de ce fonds unique, constitué à travers le regard d’une personnalité centrale de l’art de la deuxième moitié du XXème siècle et du début du XXIème siècle.
L’exposition montre comment les ruptures initiées dans les années 1960-1970 et les nouvelles manières de penser l’art qu’elles ont instaurées, ont nourri les pratiques artistiques de ces 60 dernières années ainsi que la vision d’Yvon Lambert, toujours tournée vers l’avenir, à l’écart des académismes mortifères. Elle montre comment les grandes œuvres constituent à la fois des ruptures avec l’art du passé, ouvrant de nouvelles possibilités pour l’art, en même temps qu’elles invitent à de nouvelles lectures de l’histoire avec laquelle elles tissent des liens nouveaux et conscients, pour reprendre la pensée de Jean Frémon.

From date 08 July to date 29 September 2019
Venez découvrir l'exposition temporaire Basquiat Remix : Basquiat en dialogue avec Picasso, Matisse et Twombly à la Collection Lambert !
Un retour aux sources de l’énergie brute de la peinture de Jean-Michel Basquiat. À travers les relations que Basquiat entretenait avec Picasso, Matisse et Twombly, qui l’influencèrent profondément, l’exposition questionne la singularité d’une œuvre viscérale. Le talent rayonnant d’un jeune prodige qui symbolise une nouvelle manière d’envisager l’art dans les années 80.

FreeEXHIBITION MIRYAM HADDAD: LE SOMMEIL N 'EST PAS UN LIEU SÛR - UNTIL SEPTEMBER 29 YEAR 2019
From date 08 July to date 29 September 2019
Grotesque characters, scenes halfway between joy and unease: Miryam Haddad’s colourful paintings, like the poster she made for the Festival, illuminate the 73rd edition and the Collection Lambert.
Syrian artist Miryam Haddad, 28, introduces us to her world, reminiscent of the vibrant and colourful works of James Ensor and Oskar Kokoschka. Her scenes feature grotesque characters and slowly reveal subtler, deeper layers, which turn this phantasmatic world into a wonderful, surprising game of agility for the eyes. At times mad dances, at times myths full of colourful shapes, shifting between joy and unease, the paintings of the Paris-based artist mesmerise with their diversity, their elusive themes, their originality. A body of work perfectly illustrated by the poster of the Festival d'Avignon, about which Miryam Haddad says, following her reading of Homer's Odyssey: “he writes about morning as 'rose-fingered dawn.' I found that beautiful (...). For the Festival d'Avignon, I wanted to see the sky pink.” A dream in and of itself, if not quite a programme...
Born in 1991 in Syria, Myriam Haddad joined the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris after studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus. After her studies, her work was presented at Artagon III, the international meeting of art school students. Several of her paintings were then acquired by the Collection Lambert. The gallery Art: Concept hosted her in 2018 for her first solo show, Désordres. The collective show Jeunes artistes en Europe, une Métamorphose at the Fondation Cartier allowed the public to discover new paintings before her second solo show at the Collection Lambert during the Festival d'Avignon.
