From photography to modern art
In 2013, following the restoration of the South-East Gallery, initially dedicated to photography, the Louis Roederer Foundation became a partner of the Grand Palais through patronage of the exhibition devoted to Raymond Depardon first encountered at the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
It was the start of a partnership that has now lasted over 10 years. The Louis Roederer Foundation sponsors major exhibitions from Toulouse Lautrec to Joan Miró, including Lucien Clergue, Seydou Keïta, Kupka and Bill Viola.

An original Carte Blanche photography project
In 2021, the Grand Palais closed its doors and began a huge renovation project. The Louis Roederer Foundation created an original Carte Blanche project. Photo artist Marguerite Bornhauser was invited to document this mythical site in transformation, for the duration of the works.
Her meticulous work and attention to detail, combined with her quirky, daring take on the site, enabled her to capture modern images of the monument in bright, vibrant and vivacious colours.
The support of the Louis Roederer Foundation has allowed me to develop the project with greater ambition. It’s rare to get complete free rein on a project of this scale. What really excited me was the site itself, with its many secrets and stories, its unexplored corners and its monumental scale. It was also a chance to meet the people who work on the site, those who are laying the foundations of the building in basements or hanging above the void to restore the glass roofs.
