Foundation Hartung Bergman, Art museum in Antibes, France
The Fondation Hartung-Bergman is an art museum in Antibes dedicated to the work of two abstract painters from the 20th century. The building contains exhibition rooms, studios, and a surrounding garden with olive trees, where visitors can see artworks, sketches, and personal belongings of both artists.
Hans Hartung was born in 1904 and died in 1989, while Anna-Eva Bergman lived from 1909 to 1987. The foundation was established in 1994 and opened to the public in 2022 to preserve their legacy and artistic contribution to modern painting.
The foundation preserves the working spaces and personal environment of two artists who dedicated themselves to abstract painting. Visitors can see how Hartung worked with dynamic lines and bold colors, while Bergman explored soft tones and simple forms.
The foundation is open from May to September and can be easily reached by bus or car. A visit typically lasts about one to two hours, with visitors able to explore both indoor galleries and the outdoor garden, and guided tours and workshops are offered.
The building was once the actual home and studio of both artists, which sets it apart from a typical museum. This authenticity allows visitors to see the real environment where the artistic works were created.
