Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Jeu de Paume
Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Richard Avedon Exhibition at the Jeu de Paume
In 2006, Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Swiss fine watchmaking reference, announced its commitment to the field of cultural patronage and particularly to the world of photography and film, by associating with the Jeu de Paume, a prestigious institution dedicated to photography and contemporary film, in Paris. Driven by a shared purpose, Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Jeu de Paume joined forces to stage broad-scale patronage operations.
Jaeger-LeCoultre provides ongoing support for the prestigious exhibitions of the Jeu de Paume…
After sponsoring two flagship exhibitions held in the Jeu de Paume in 2006, both dedicated to world-famous American photographers - Cindy Sherman (from May 16th to September 3rd) and Lee Friedlander (from September 19th to December 31st) – and then in 2007 the first European retrospective of the work of photographer Edward Steichen (from October 9th to December 30th).
