Description of the attraction
The Lambert Collection gallery was opened in June 2000. It is owned by Yvon Lambert, a French collector and gallery owner. Then he exhibited paintings from his collection on a leasehold basis. The gallery is located in an old hotel of the 18th century. At that time, the collection consisted of 350 works of art dating from the 60s of the XX century to the present day. Now the collection has 1200 items.
The exhibits have been collected since the 60s and reflect the owner's inner world, his tastes, preferences, hobbies. The exhibition presents works from various areas of art: there are examples of minimalism, conceptual painting, and landart, which formed the basis of the collection. In the 80s, Lambert became interested in a new type of painting, more symbolic, figurative painting, in the 90s - photography. Then he began to replenish his collection with video exhibits and installations. The collector's attention is always directed to new authors and contemporary trends.
The exhibition serves as a place for communication and a source of new ideas. Visitors are presented with 5 sectors covering an area of 2000 sq. M. There are objects of contemporary art, literary works, cultural and youth programs.
Three exhibitions are held annually. Most often they are timed to events in the cultural life of the city, such as the theater festival in Avignon. Sometimes they are carried out in cooperation with foreign companies.
