Nadège de Peganow's Documentary on Gustave Fayet Airs Alongside Fondation Louis Vuitton Exhibition
A documentary by Nadège de Peganow, « Une vie pour l’art. Gustave Fayet », profiles the collector as a figure of unusual foresight, while also tracing the more complicated personality of a man who considered himself an artist as well. Its broadcast is timed to the exhibition devoted to Fayet at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. The film's portrait of Fayet rests on that dual identity — the discerning collector and the aspiring maker — rather than on a single account of his acquisitions.
