Kadist Art Foundation's Family-Run Model and Three-Pronged Program
Founded by collector Vincent Worms, the Kadist Art Foundation in Paris serves as a Franco-American extension of the Tsadik Foundation. A family-operated committee oversees its activities, which include members such as Jeremy Lewinson, Rozenn Prat, Jean-Marc Prévost, and Émilie Villez. The foundation boasts a collection of approximately 200 artworks from artists like Saâdane Afif and Hans-Peter Feldmann, with yearly acquisitions valued between €200,000 and €350,000. It emphasizes exhibitions, residencies, and the support of emerging artists and curators. Highlights include Jeremy Lewison's 2009 exhibition and Pierre Leguillon's retrospective on Diane Arbus. The current showcase, "Stade des sirènes," by Étienne Chambaud and Vincent Normand, runs from April 2 to May 2, 2010, in partnership with The David Roberts Arts Foundation and Nomas Foundation.
