The Maeght Foundation or Fondation Maeght (pronounced[mɑɡ])[1][2] is a museum of modern art on the Colline des Gardettes, a hill overlooking Saint-Paul de Vence in the southeast of France about 25 km (16 mi) from Nice. It was established by Marguerite and Aimé Maeght in 1964 and houses paintings, sculptures, collages, ceramics and all forms of modern art. [3][4][5]
The collection includes works by many important 20th-century artists including Jean Arp, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Sam Francis, Alberto Giacometti, Wassily Kandinsky, Ellsworth Kelly, Fernand Léger, Anne Madden and Joan Miró among others.[4][5]
The building was designed by the Spanish architect Josep Lluís Sert,[5] houses more than 12,000 pieces of art and attracts "on average, 200,000 visitors ... every year".[4] There is a small chapel dedicated to Saint Bernard, in memory of Bernard, the son of Aimé and Marguerite Maeght who died of leukemia, aged eleven.[5] The foundation is entirely independently funded with no reliance on state subsidies.[4] Adrien Maeght is the chairman of the foundation's administrative council, which also includes Isabelle Maeght and her sister Yoyo Maeght.[4]
