THE GREATEST FOR LÉMAN HOPE
A great reason
to be charitable
The Greatest collection was initiated in order to support the amazing work of Lausanne based project Léman hope - that offers to young people in remission from cancer, a confidence boost and opportunity to restart their lives after treatment, using unique and powerful 5 day sailing trips on Lac Geneva.
THE COLLECTION
The biggest names
of modern sport
The Greatest, produced by French artist David Jamin, pays tribute to 38 exceptional sporting personalities who have left a lasting positive impact on society. The entire collection will be exhibited at the Olympic Museum of Lausanne between 26 October and 18 December (including 13 days open to the public).
THE CHARITY EVENT
A charitable evening
in a unique environment
Organised with the support of the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage, and generous donors, a charitable evening will be held on Tuesday 13 December 2022, during which 30 or so of the portraits from the collection will be auctioned off for the profit of Léman hope and the young people it serves.
It will also be possible to participate in the “The Greatest for Léman hope” auction remotely.
THE ARTIST
David Jamin
Originally from the south of France, David Jamin studied plastic art in Calais, then spent 15 years on the Cote d’Opale. In 2013 he returned to the south and launched his art gallery in Uzes. His figurative style connects with the heart and soul of each of the subjects. A painter of humanity, his artworks are alive and yet serene. His work has met with great success across European galeries and private collectors. He currently exhibits in the UK, China, South Korea and the Netherlands.

I’d like to support Léman hope
