Fondation Carmignac<\/span><\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Porquerolles (France)
\n<\/span>In 2018, the site in Porquerolles will be open to the public from June 2<\/span>nd\u00a0<\/sup><\/span> until November 4th.
\n<\/span>The Carmignac Foundation site was inaugurated on June 2<\/span>nd<\/sup><\/span>, 2018 on the Island of Porquerolles, the largest of the three islands of Hy\u00e8res, in the region Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. Departing from the harbor of La Tour Fondue, a nice ferry ride takes you to the island, which is located only a few miles from the coast into the Mediterranean Sea. A fifteen-minute walk among fragrant pines, heather and myrtle will lead you to the Domaine de Courtade, headquarters of the Foundation, at the heart of the Port-Cros national park.\u00a0<\/span>The villa, which is the heart of the Foundation and offers permanent and temporary exhibits, benefits from a 21.000 sq.\/ft. underground space. The inaugural exhibition, Sea of Desire<\/i>, presents influential artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter and Jean-Michel Basquiat alongside younger, emerging ones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The villa is surrounded by a 37-acre sculpture garden designed by landscaper Louis Benech. The works, which are all monumental, have been placed as to interact with the surrounding vegetation: \u201cAt the South end of the garden, we created\u00a0a game of hide-and-seek between the works, trees and shrubs. At the North end of the park, screens of giant reeds allow to stage the artworks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
