Szczesny Art Foundation

The Szczesny Art Foundation Saint-Tropez with its foundation fund is a non-profit organisation under French law with its registered office in Saint-Tropez. The Foundation seeks to make Stefan Szczesny’s work known and to promote and research it. Its aim is to propagate his work, both in France and throughout the world.

This can be achieved through the following activities:

  • Archiving, cataloguing and researching his work
  • Organising and carrying out exhibitions
  • Supporting and collaborating with museums, private collections, universities and libraries
  • Providing loans from the Foundation’s collection for use in exhibitions
  • Maintaining the Foundation’s own collection and purchasing important works
  • Expanding the Foundation’s collection started by Stefan Szczesny, and adding works donated by collectors and promoters from the business world
  • Founding and running a museum of Stefan Szczesny’s works, with rooms for international temporary exhibitions
  • Establishing a sponsorship and support group to finance all projects
  • Developing a group of friends to stimulate the activities of the Foundation

MUSEUM

One major project for the Foundation is to plan and set up a museum within Saint-Tropez. The aim is to create a complex cultural centre for the magical international town of Saint-Tropez, which has been the artist’s home for such a long time now.

This museum and cultural centre is to comprise a wing accommodating the collection of the Szczesny Art Foundation, rooms for temporary exhibitions and a concert, film and multi-purpose hall as well as a sculpture park, library, museum shop, café and restaurant.

It may also be possible to include other art collections under the same roof.

The founder. Stefan Szczesny, believes that it is important to work with the architect in creating a unified work of architectural art for this project, with art. architecture and nature set within a historic landscape.

The museum is intended as a major cultural landmark on the Côte d’Azur.

SUPPORTERS AND SPONSORS

This important small group of financial supporters and volunteers exists to enable the day-to-day business of the Foundation and its workforce.

This includes financing exhibition projects for the Foundation, particularly for the museumn and its ongoing operations, and purchasing important works which the Foundation can then make available to the museum.
