Architecture studio Berger & Berger has added three new structures to a pair of 18th-century French mansions, creating a larger exhibition space for the collection of gallerist Yvon Lambert (+ slideshow).
Yvon Lambert first started amassing his contemporary art collection in the 1960s, and it includes works by artists including Cy Twombly and Donald Judd. He originally had a gallery in Paris, but relocated to southern French town Avignon in 2000.
Twelve years later, Lambert donated the entire collection to the state, but it had already grown too large for its original space in the Hôtel de Caumont. So, after a competition, Berger & Berger was tasked with renovating both this mansion and its neighbour, the Hôtel de Montfaucon.
