Hexa Grace
Hexa Grace is a ceramic-tile mosaic on the roof of Auditorium Rainier III in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Victor Vasarely created it in 1979, using multicoloured geometric forms associated with op art. From the Casino Gardens and Terraces, you see the artwork against lawns, fountains, palms, cacti, and subtropical plants.
The roof mosaic covers a substantial area and changes as light and viewpoint shift across its colours and patterns. Auditorium Rainier III forms part of the Monaco Convention Center and hosts concerts and other events, while the surrounding gardens bring architecture, public art, and landscape together. Edouard André designed these terraces in the late nineteenth century, including the Little Africa garden and an original arrangement of waterfalls flowing towards a pond.
Washingtonia robusta palms and Brachychiton populneus bottle trees give the setting a distinctive Mediterranean detail. Against that planting, Vasarely’s bold ceramic geometry turns a convention-centre roof into a visible artwork within Monaco’s public landscape.
