Presentation
The Fondation Carmignac presents the exhibition "Sea, Pop and Sun" at the Villa Carmignac.
The Fondation Carmignac presents Sea, Pop & Sun, a dazzling ode to the freedom and vitality of the 1960s and 1970s, through the invocation of the Pop spirit. At the Villa Carmignac, nestled between the pines and the sea, a solar, sensual and soaring Pop Art unfolds that continues to radiate its electric, playful energy to this day. Curated by Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer.
Around the Villa, you'll also find a garden with the "Remarkable Garden" label, designed as a "non-garden" and conceived as a space of preserved nature. Here, balance is sought through subtraction and protection, allowing pioneering and endemic plants to flourish, from rockroses to Hyères lavender, as well as rarer species such as flax broom and serapias, among the most delicate orchids. Artists from all over the world were selected to create works inspired by the spirit of the place. They each spent time on the island of Porquerolles, soaking up its atmosphere and imagining sculptures that resonate with the Villa.
