The owner&#8217;s collection of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art offers a totally immersive experience. The collection includes major names such as Frank Stella, Sol LeWitt, Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Dubuffet, as well as works by contemporary artists of the likes of Daniel Buren, Bernar Venet and Joana Vasconcelos, created especially for the estate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15622\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15622\" class=\"wp-image-15622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PEYRASSOL_Alain-Clement_Sans-titre-2005_courtesy-Alain-Clement-and-Peyrassol_\u00a9-C.-Goussard-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PEYRASSOL_Alain-Clement_Sans-titre-2005_courtesy-Alain-Clement-and-Peyrassol_\u00a9-C.-Goussard-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PEYRASSOL_Alain-Clement_Sans-titre-2005_courtesy-Alain-Clement-and-Peyrassol_\u00a9-C.-Goussard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PEYRASSOL_Alain-Clement_Sans-titre-2005_courtesy-Alain-Clement-and-Peyrassol_\u00a9-C.-Goussard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PEYRASSOL_Alain-Clement_Sans-titre-2005_courtesy-Alain-Clement-and-Peyrassol_\u00a9-C.-Goussard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Alain Cle\u0301ment, 2005, courtesy Alain Cle\u0301ment and Peyrassol.

It hosts exhibition rooms, a restaurant, a bookshop and boutique, as well as 4 guest rooms, each with its own distinctive personality, and a dismantled house by Jean Prouv\u00e9, all completely renovated by Charles Zana, a French architect and interior designer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15391\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15391\" class=\"wp-image-15391 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Chambre-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chambre\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Chambre-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Chambre-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Chambre-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Chambre-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15391\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FONDATION CAB Saint-Paul de Vence, Room<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EDITH_DEKYNDT\"><\/span>EDITH DEKYNDT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The project is the brainchild of Hubert Bonnet. This Belgian collector is perpetuating the work of the CAB Brussels Foundation, which resolutely champions minimal and conceptual art. Driven by the ambition of becoming a major player on the region&#8217;s modern and contemporary art circuit, the Foundation pursues a twofold aim. While showcasing the Foundation&#8217;s collection and putting on thematic exhibitions that turn the heat up even higher in the summer season, it also serves as a trailblazing centre for artists in residence. Emerging and established painters and sculptors spend a few months here, working, researching and reflecting on their practice, without the pressure of production or presentation.<\/p>\n<p>These artists sign up to the CAB Foundation&#8217;s mission of interpreting and questioning the traditions of minimalism and conceptualism with their own contemporary take. Until the end of October 2024, Belgian artist \u00c9dith Dekyndt will be creating site-specific works in the Foundation&#8217;s 2 upper spaces, in dialogue with a range of works from the collection. Her creations offer sensory experiences based on the meticulous observation of matter and the cultural contexts that encompass it. Processual and conceptual in nature, her approach focuses on the often ordinary objects that make up everyday life, and how they are transformed by contact with natural and architectural environments.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15388\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15388\" class=\"wp-image-15388 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Edith-Dekyndt_Atelier-detail-Tissu-impregne-de-vin-et-toile-enterree-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Art\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Edith-Dekyndt_Atelier-detail-Tissu-impregne-de-vin-et-toile-enterree-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Edith-Dekyndt_Atelier-detail-Tissu-impregne-de-vin-et-toile-enterree-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Edith-Dekyndt_Atelier-detail-Tissu-impregne-de-vin-et-toile-enterree-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FC_Edith-Dekyndt_Atelier-detail-Tissu-impregne-de-vin-et-toile-enterree-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15388\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EDITH DEKYNDT, Specific subjects, Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 2024.

This exclusivity gives you the feeling of being alone in the world, a privilege that adds an extra dimension to your discovery of this art Mecca.
