Espace Louis Vuitton, Munich
On view until 12 September 2026
Marking the 20th anniversary of the Espaces Louis Vuitton and the 10th anniversary of the Fondation Louis Vuitton's Hors-les-murs programme, the Espace Louis Vuitton München presents an exhibition devoted to the work of Polish artist Wilhelm Sasnal. This exhibition is part of the Hors-les-murs programme, showcasing holdings of the Collection at the Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul, and Osaka, thereby embodying the Fondation Louis Vuitton's mission to mount international projects and reach a broader global audience.
Grey Eyes brings together works from the past two decades, drawn from the Collection and the artist's studio. Assembled by Sasnal himself, it places intimate images in tension with broader resonances. The recurring motif of the eye introduces a reflection on seeing a world saturated with images.
Grey – a colour neither fully opaque nor transparent – becomes a sign of ambiguity: eyes that are tired, turned away, or open yet unseeing. Thus, the exhibition raises a simple question: what does it mean to see today? Sasnal offers no fixed answer. His work opens unstable spaces of perception, where what is shown matters as much as what is withheld, reaffirming painting's ability to generate meaning without fixing it.
