Cap Moderne is proud to present its exhibition in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou.
This exhibition covers the key periods of Eileen Gray’s career, and focuses in particular on her ideas about the organization of space, as exemplified by the work she carried out in renovating Madame Mathieu-Levy’s apartment between 1919 and 1924.
It also sheds more light on Villa E-1027 and its interior.
The third section of the exhibition concerns the villa Tempe a Pailla.

In July 2016, after a lengthy process of consultation, the World Heritage Committee finally decided to inscribe the Architectural Work of Le Corbusier on the List of World Heritage Sites.
Inscription on the prestigious World Heritage List is testimony to Le Corbusier's ground-breaking achievement and contribution to the development of modern architecture and will ensure that his oeuvre, at Roquebrune and elsewhere, will be preserved and handed down to future generations. The Cabanon has the singular distinction of being the only World Heritage site in the whole Alpes Maritimes department.
On 7 September 2016 a plaque was unveiled paying tribute to Eileen Gray at her former home at 21 rue Bonaparte in the sixth arrondissement, Paris. The ceremony took place in the presence of H.E Mrs Geraldine Byrne Nason and representatives of the Paris municipal council
