Fondation Cartier
Overview
Founded in 1984 by the Maison Cartier, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is a unique example of corporate philanthropy. Rooted in Paris, in a building commissioned to the French architect Jean Nouvel in 1994, it has developed a program of highly memorable contemporary art exhibitions, and frequently opens its doors to topics rarely examined by museums
The Fondation Cartier adopted three founding principles that still define its cultural program today:
- Encourage artistic creation and exchange and in particular emerging artists;
- Favour an international and multidisciplinary approach;
- Guarantee the independence of the Fondation Cartier artistic direction with respect to the Maison Cartier commercial activities.
The Fondation Cartier shapes and produces exhibitions and live performances based on artists’ commissions, embracing all creative disciplines as a reflection of their times.
