Pilgrimage to Neviges | Langen Foundation | Fondation Cartier
1. Pilgrimage to Neviges The first part showcases the impressive Mariendom in Neviges, a striking concrete building that resembles a „giant concrete tent“. Pilgrims come here to view and pray before the miraculous image. Consecrated in 1968, this church, designed by architect Gottfried Böhm, serves as a spiritual center for those seeking divine connection.
2. Langen Foundation The second segment introduces the Langen Foundation, established in 2004 to continue the artistic legacy of Viktor and Marianne Langen. The foundation presents a diverse collection encompassing post-war Western art and Oriental art. A highlight is the museum building designed by Tadao Ando, which Marianne Langen described as „the greatest work of art I have ever purchased.“
3. Fondation Cartier The Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain is a contemporary art museum in Paris, established by Cartier in 1984. It resides in a striking glass building designed by Jean Nouvel and is known for promoting contemporary art through diverse exhibitions and artist support. The foundation’s collection spans various media, including painting, photography, and video art. In a significant development, it plans to relocate to a larger venue opposite the Louvre in 2025, further cementing its role as a key player in the international contemporary art scene.
