The César Manrique Foundation is the institution responsible for keeping the cultural legacy of this great artist alive on his native island. César Manrique was born in 1919 in Arrecife and passed away in 1992, very near to where the Foundation that bears his name currently exists.
César Manrique Foundation is headquartered in a spectacular dwelling designed by César Manrique himself upon his return from New York City, when he decided to locate permanently at Lanzarote. This was his home for the 20 years running from 1968 to 1988, the longest he ever lived in a single place.
