Fondation Vasarely is a museum in Aix en Provence, France, dedicated to the works of Victor Vasarely.

History

Fondation Vasarely was established in 1966 by Victor Vasarely, aiming to build a centre "to promote his ideas of 'art for all' and of the 'city of tomorrow'."[1] Construction of the building started in 1973 with architects John Sonnier and Dominique Ronsseray implementing the designs of Vasarely, and it was inaugurated 14 February 1976.[2]

Forty-two 6 by 8 metres (20 ft × 26 ft) art works by Vasarely were constructed on the site to be on display in seven "cells", hexagonal rooms each 14 metres (46 ft) across and 11 metres (36 ft) high.[2]
