History
Created in 2004 by Contemporary Art Collector Antoine de Galbert, La maison rouge occupied an old factory building. The 2000-square-meter space was renovated by architect Jean-Yves Clément and the artist Jean-Michel Alberola. The Foundation offices were located at the center the building in what used to be an old red farmhouse (hence its name). La maison rouge had an adjacent bookstore run by Bookstorming [3] and a branch of Rose Bakery, an organic English style cafe,[4] that renewed its entire decoration with each exhibition.
