Chanel gives Centre Pompidou financial boost with new five-year partnership

Chanel has announced a new five-year partnership with the Centre Pompidou in Paris, providing a confidential financial boost to the institution during its closure for major renovations until 2030. The partnership builds on previous collaborations, including the 2023 Assemble program and a 2025 initiative to expand the museum's collection of Chinese contemporary artists by over 30% by 2028, with works already acquired from artists like Chen Wei and Cui Jie.

Chanel Renews Financial Support of Centre Pompidou During Long-Term Renovation

Chanel has renewed its financial partnership with Paris's Centre Pompidou, extending their collaboration through another five-year agreement. The luxury fashion house will continue supporting the museum's operations, acquisitions, and exhibitions, despite the Pompidou being closed until 2030 for a major renovation costing over $500 million. Chanel previously sponsored the museum's acquisition of 21 artworks by 15 contemporary Chinese artists in 2024 and supported the related exhibition “目 China: A New Generation of Artists.” The renewed investment aims to bolster access, scholarship, and preservation of public knowledge.

Paris Judge Rejects Bid to Suspend the Replacement of Notre-Dame’s Windows

A Paris judge has rejected a bid to suspend the removal of six 19th-century stained-glass windows by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc from Notre-Dame Cathedral, clearing the way for their replacement with contemporary works commissioned by the French government. The Paris Administrative Court ruled that the project does not constitute an irreversible alteration because the new windows, designed by artist Claire Tabouret and produced by glassmakers Simon-Marq, could be removed in the future, and the original windows will be preserved. The judge did not rule on the legality of the project, which had previously been vetoed by the National Commission of Patrimony and Architecture, leaving the door open for further legal challenges.
