Sensitive Perspectives. Video works from the Lemaître collection
Exhibitions
Last updated date : 25/02/2026
For over 30 years, Isabelle and Jean-Conrad Lemaître have built up an exceptional collection of video art, one of the largest in private hands in France.
Isabelle and Jean-Conrad Lemaître, great art lovers, decided after several years of collecting so-called ‘classical’ works of art (paintings, engravings, photographs, etc.) to devote themselves exclusively to video art, thus bringing together a unique collection of works created between 1984 and 2025. This collection stands out for its unique vision. Travellers, curious and intuitive, the Lemaîtres have proceeded above all on the basis of emotional and personal choices. Their intellectually open-minded gaze has turned to works that address social, political and economic issues.
An emblematic figure in European video art and head of Videonale – Festival for Video and Time-Based Arts in Bonn, Germany, since 2012, Tasja Langenbach has designed a specific itinerary based on a selection of works, complemented by a programme of screenings and meetings, which will allow visitors to discover this extraordinary collection.
