l’art en plus has been working with the Venet Foundation since its inauguration in 2014.

Created in 2014, the Venet Foundation is the culmination of over 50 years of artistic creation and encounters between Bernar Venet and major artists who have become his friends. It is also the result of 25 years of transforming his property in Le Muy (Var) into a “total work of art”. This exceptional 5-hectare site blends ancient, industrial and contemporary architecture, a sculpture park with a chapel by Frank Stella, a Skyspace by James Turrell, installations by Larry Bell and Donald Judd…, historic works by Bernar Venet, and the exceptional collection of conceptual and minimal art by the artist and his wife Diane, displayed in the Moulin. The Venet Foundation is open to the public every summer, with exhibitions dedicated to major artists: Jean Tinguely, Fred Sandback, Yves Klein, Claude Viallat and others.

l’art en plus has been working with Bernar Venet since the opening of the Foundation to give the widest exposure to this extraordinary place, the artworks regularly produced in-situ, the extensions to the park and the summer exhibitions. By inviting the French and international media to live the unforgettable experience of this place conceived by the artist, l’art en plus also contributes to the discovery of another facet of the artist, that of the greatest collectors of American minimal and conceptual art. The agency regularly contributes to media campaigns for Bernar Venet’s major exhibitions worldwide, such as the exceptional retrospectives at MAC Lyon and MAMAC in Nice, at Louvre Lens in 2020, as well as his solo show during the Venice Biennale 2024.
