The foundation was established to promote contemporary art and provide artists with a platform to present their works to a wide audience. Originally, the Fondation Cartier was located in Jouy-en-Josas, a suburb of Paris, before moving to a new building in the 14th arrondissement of Paris in 1994. The building was designed by the renowned architect Jean Nouvel and is known for its modern and transparent architecture that blends harmoniously with its surroundings.
