Fondation Maeght
Culture · by Josep Lluís Sert / Silvio d’Ascia · 1964
623 Chemin Des Gardettes, 06570 Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France
The Maeght Foundation, designed by Josep Lluís Sert, is a timeless work of architecture that combines beauty and utility. Its white concrete sails collect rainwater for Miró’s “Labyrinth” and protect the buildings from the sun. Perfectly integrated into the Saint-Paul-de-Vence landscape, the design serves both artists and visitors.
Blending materials, shapes, and colors, the architecture creates harmony without symmetry. Marguerite and Aimé Maeght envisioned a place where diverse artistic movements and eras coexist, sharing creativity with generosity.
The result is an architectural, artistic, and human achievement, where light and space are thoughtfully managed to highlight art in every detail.
