It was a visibly emotional event for veteran art dealer Yvon Lambert. On July 10, Lambert celebrated the long-awaited inauguration of the newly-expanded space of the Collection Lambert in Avignon with high-profile guests and politicians in attendance, including French culture minister Fleur Pellerin.
The permanent hanging of Lambert’s contemporary art collection in the newly-acquired Hôtel de Montfaucon also includes impressive works by Cy Twombly, Nan Goldin, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Julian Schnabel, and works on paper by Bruce Nauman.
