The exhibition is open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 AM to 6 PM, and then until 5 PM starting in September.
New Works in Nice
This is an opportunity to discover Vasarely’s works that have never been presented in Nice before. The unique setting of the former prison at the port of Nice offers an original alternative to explore the artist’s universe.
Visitors will have the chance to admire pieces from the artist’s personal collection, as well as loans from private collectors and some pieces from the prestigious Renault Group Foundation, which originally created the logo for the automotive brand.
Optical Art and Much More

The diversity and originality of the works displayed will captivate art lovers, whether they are already familiar with Vasarely’s work or simply curious to discover it. So, head to 2 quai Entrecasteaux to dive into the creative universe of this great contemporary artist.
