Founded in 2000 by Édouard Carmignac, the Fondation Carmignac is a corporate foundation structured around two main pillars: a contemporary art collection of more than 300 works, and the Carmignac Photojournalism Award that annually supports an investigative report that is the subject of an exhibition and a catalog.
In partnership with the Fondation Carmignac was inaugurated a new location accessible to the public: the Villa Carmignac on the island of Porquerolles where exhibitions and cultural events take place.
Chronology
The Founders
Edouard Carmignac
Édouard Carmignac is a French entrepreneur, Chairman of Carmignac, an independent company he founded in 1989 and which stands today as one of the main European players in asset management.
After spending his childhood in Peru, he studied Economics at the Sorbonne and graduated with an MBA from Columbia University in New York, USA. He started his career in an investment bank and began to take interest in contemporary art as he got acquainted with the New York scene by patronizing Andy Warhol's Factory. The energy of those years still guides his spirit of nonconformist collector to this day.
In 2000, he created the Fondation Carmignac, a corporate foundation that supports contemporary artists and manages an international collection of over 300 artworks. In 2018, the Villa Carmignac opened on the island of Porquerolles in order to share the collection with the public and organise cultural and artistic events.
Also passionate about photography, Edouard Carmignac created in 2009 the Carmignac Photojournalism Award, which aims to support the independence of photographers by giving them the means to produce a thematic report in areas outside the limelight.
Charles Carmignac
An entrepreneur involved in the world of art and ecology, Charles Carmignac, has launched numerous initiatives in the fields of journalism, communication and the arts after studying at ESCP and Sciences Po Paris.
At the same time, he was an author and musician in the group Moriarty for 20 years. In January 2017, he takes over the management of the Carmignac Gestion Corporate Foundation and the Villa Carmignac.
