Espace de l'art concret, Contemporary art center in Mouans-Sartoux, France
The Espace de l'Art Concret is a contemporary art center housed in a green cube building set within a pine forest, containing more than 700 works from the Albers-Honegger collection. The structure is surrounded by a landscaped garden spanning several hectares that complements the building's design.
The center was created to preserve the concrete art movement and showcase works by artists such as Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, Josef Albers, and Victor Vasarely. These artists shaped the evolution of abstract and geometric art during the 20th century.
The center focuses on concrete art, a movement that uses geometry and mathematical principles to create visual works. Today, exhibitions here show how this artistic approach continues to shape contemporary creation.
The center is open Wednesday through Sunday with shorter hours during spring and autumn, extending to daily visits in summer months. The location is easy to reach and the surrounding garden offers pleasant walks, making a visit here a relaxing outing.
The building itself was designed as a green cube that blends into the natural setting of the pine forest. This architectural choice makes the artwork and nature equal partners in the visitor's experience.
