The Fondation d'entreprise Hermès provides ongoing support for the visual arts through a program of exhibitions in various venues around the world, including, since 2014, La Grande Place, musée Saint-Louis, in Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche, France. In 2022, French photographer Patrick Faigenbaum has been invited to make a series of images during several visits to the Saint-Louis crystal glassworks and its region, the Vosges du Nord.
From June 11 to December 29, 2024, the exhibition "Patrick Faigenbaum à la cristallerie Saint-Louis" (Patrick Faigenbaum at the Saint-Louis crystal glassworks) presents the fruit of this immersion at the very place where it was produced.
"Patrick Faigenbaum came to the Saint-Louis crystal glassworks following the trail of a glass service that had fascinated him since childhood: Tommy glasses (...). Since his beginnings over forty years ago, Faigenbaum has combined documentary approach and vision in his photography. He draws on a deep familiarity with the history of painting: the art, par excellence, of composition". Jean-François Chevrier, exhibition curator
