The Lambert Collection in Avignon was created in 2000 by Yvon Lambert who wanted to display his personal collection of contemporary art to the public in the Hôtel de Caumont. It assembles works from major artists such as Cy Twombly, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Niele Toroni, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer, Christian Boltanski, Nan Goldin, Douglas Gordon and Jenny Holzer which are displayed throughout the year,  alternating with, or included as part of the temporary exhibitions.
