Formes Simples
Alexis Lartigue
From 14/10/2024 to 23/11/2024
Formes Simples is a tribute to the fundamental geometric shapes that have profoundly influenced modern art. The exhibition showcases a selection of his- torical works by pioneering artists such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Josef Albers, Max Bill, Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt and Robert Mangold, among others. These artists, through their exploration of form, have significantly shaped the trajec- tory of art from the 1940s to the present day.
Formes Simples invites viewers to delve into the essence of geometry in art, examining how elemental shapes: circles, squares, triangles and lines, have been employed to convey universal concepts and emotions. The exhibition highlights the purity and precision of these forms, while also exploring their enduring relevance and impact on contemporary artistic practices. By tracing the evolution of geometric abstraction, Formes Simples reflects on how these basic elements have been interpreted, reinterpreted and transformed over decades, continuing to inspire generations of artists.

En 2022, Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale, le nouveau salon issu de l’alliance des deux entités, Fine Arts Paris, jeune salon prometteur né il y a cinq ans et La Biennale des Antiquaires, créée en 1956 sous la houlette d’André Malraux, est devenu le plus bel évènement international à Paris pour les arts de l’Antiquité à nos jours.
Le salon propose un programme mondain et culturel de haut standing, avec un dîner de gala organisé par le SNA, un comité d’honneur rassemblant des personnalités extérieures ambassadrices du nouveau salon, et une Semaine des Beaux-Arts, parcours hors-les-murs en synergie avec les musées.

LE NOIR AU SIÈCLE DES LUMIÈRES
GALERIE PELLAT DE VILLEDON
From 09/06/2024 to 30/06/2024
La Galerie Pellat de Villedon présente une exposition inédite intitulée « Le noir au siècle des Lumières ». Visible du 9 au 30 juin 2024, cet évènement se déroule dans les espaces d’exposition de la Galerie dans son hôtel particulier, l’Hôtel de Bouillon. Situé à quelques pas du château de Versailles, c’est un véritable écrin pour découvrir la collection de mobilier et d’objets d’art de la Galerie Pellat de Villedon.
Le noir est une couleur méconnue dans son utilisation au XVIIIe siècle. En effet, ayant une réputation austère tournant autour des thématiques du deuil et de la rigueur dans nos esprits, cette couleur ne manque pourtant pas d’histoire. Après une approche historique de ce pigment, les visiteurs exploreront les différents matériaux qui représentent le noir. L’ébène et les bois noircis, la laque et le vernis Martin et le bronze seront ainsi mis en avant tant dans leurs aspects esthétiques, historiques, leurs secrets de fabrication ou d’origine que dans la compréhension de leur présence dans les intérieurs XVIIIe. Nous nous interrogerons de plusieurs manières : comment et de quelles façons une telle couleur a-t-elle fait son entrée dans les plus beaux intérieurs du siècle des Lumières ? Quelles influences sont venues l’intégrer dans (ces espaces ?)?
Puis nous nous attarderons à montrer aux amateurs la dimension esthétique et décorative. Ils pourront observer que le bronze doré a par exemple été utilisé pour mettre en valeur le noir au XVIIIe siècle. La notion d’intérieur aussi sera abordée, puisque nous nous amuserons à faire découvrir aux visiteurs différents espaces connus ou moins connus qui présentent des œuvres noires de notre période de prédilection, intérieurs contemporains ou non (allant de décorateurs en couturiers, en passant par chez des particuliers célèbres). Nous remarquerons finalement que la couleur noire est associée au luxe tant au XVIIIe siècle qu’aujourd’hui.
Le noir sera présenté à travers ce parcours par des objets originaux de qualité. Une sélection de meubles et d’objets seront réunis à cette occasion : des commodes, un cabinet, une table à jeux, des pendules, des presse-papiers, etc. De cette manière, la démarche de la Galerie est de proposer une exposition innovante, avec le regard neuf du XXIe siècle. L’exposition a donc pour objectif principal de faire redécouvrir cette époque si riche en art décoratif, un angle nouveau, un angle encore jamais, nous semble-t-il, abordé.
Parure Animale
Galerie Subra Woolworth
From 06/06/2024 to 05/07/2024
Bijoux anciens dédiés au thème animalier en dialogue avec les créations contemporaines de Chloé Valorso.
Emblème ou totem, fantastique ou sauvage, familier ou exotique, l’animal peuple notre imaginaire et nos fantasmes depuis la nuit des temps. La figure animale, symbolique ou représentée, est sujet à de multiples interprétations selon l’évolution de l’iconographie et l’iconologie à travers l’histoire, la connaissance, les sciences et les arts, dans les différentes régions du monde. L’animal est une source d’inspiration et de fascination qui ne s’épuisent jamais.
« Parure animale » résonne comme un éloge, autant à ces artistes et artisans qui ont magnifié leurs sujets, qu’à ce fabuleux bestiaire qui convoque tendresse et émerveillement.
Simon Hantaï : Peintures de 1950 à 1981
Alexis Lartigue
From 24/05/2024 to 29/06/2024
Simon Hantaï, Peintures de 1950 à 1981, une retrospective immersive dédiée à l’un des artistes les plus novateurs du XXe siècle. À travers ses œuvres, Simon Hantaï a redéfini les frontières de la peinture, explorant sans cesse les possibilités offertes par l’acte de plier la toile avant d’y appliquer la couleur. Cette technique, qu’il a perfectionnée tout au long de sa carrière, est au cœur de sa démarche artistique et a donné naissance à des œuvres d’une force visuelle et émotionnelle incomparable.
L’exposition se déploie en plusieurs sections, chacune consacrée à une période ou à une série emblématique de l’artiste, de ses premiers essais dans les années 1950 à ses œuvres majeures des séries “Mariales”, “Panses”, “ Aquarelles “ et “ Tabulas “. L’évolution de la pratique de Hantaï, est marquée par une quête incessante de renouvellement et par une profonde réflexion sur le rôle du hasard et de la maitrise dans le processus créatif.

GALERIE BERES
From 25/04/2024 to 30/06/2024
Alain de la Bourdonnaye, né le 1ᵉʳ mai 1930 à Paris et mort le 28 mars 2016 à Paris, était un peintre, graveur, éditeur et imprimeur français.
Ami de Vieira da Silva et Árpád Szenes, La Bourdonnaye s'identifie à l'abstraction des années 50 jusqu'à la fin des années 70. Ses tableaux de cette période sont construits dans la parfaite économie des moyens, peints à l'huile et au couteau en évitant même la rutilance de la matière. Les grands paysages lumineux aux déclinaisons grises subtiles et oscillant entre abstraction et figuration, restent le fil rouge de toute sa recherche picturale.
La galerie Berès exposera ce printemps ses œuvres dont des livres illustrés et des bas-reliefs, avec celles de ses amis intimes, les « champions de la Jeune Peinture Française*»: Martin Barré, Serge de Castro, Serge Charchoune, Olivier Debré, Pierre Dmitrienko, Jacques Germain, Etienne Hajdu, André Marfaing, Georges Mathieu, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Nicolas de Staël, Arpad Szenes, Vieira da Silva, Raoul Ubac et Zao Wou-ki. L’exposition « Alain de la Bourdonnaye et ses amis » sera présentée au 25 quai Voltaire et au 35 rue de Beaune, Paris, 7ème.

Jean Prouvé, Maison Les Jours Meilleurs, 1956
GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN
From 15/03/2024 to 20/04/2024
Seventy years after Abbé Pierre’s memorable plea, GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN is pleased to present “Jean Prouvé, Maison Les Jours Meilleurs, 1956”: an immersive exhibition dedicated to the pavilion designed by Jean Prouvé at the request of Abbé Pierre.
Optimistically named “Better Days”, the 57m2 (610 sq ft) house was shown in Paris on Quai Alexandre-III in February 1956, as part of the very popular Salon des Arts Ménagers. Erected in seven hours, this demountable prefabricated architecture was based on the principle of a “central load-bearing core” process developed by Prouvé in the early 1950s.
For this exhibition, Galerie Patrick Seguin is showing the principals elements of this industrialized house: the load-bearing domestic block, fully equipped and rehabilitated to its original function, the almost 9 meters long ridge beam and the 4 kinds of façade panels (window, door and solid) while the visitor, equipped with a virtual reality headset, is invited to discover the entire pavilion as it was first presented to the public on the banks of the Seine in 1956.
A compilation of archives, photographs and documents from the period completes the experience of reliving a key moment in the history of architecture of the 20th century.

Exhibition : La Libération de Paris vue par les photographes de LIFE Magazine
GALERIE MEYER OCEANIC & ESKIMO ART
From 02/11/2023 to 25/11/2023
Exhibition presented by the gallery Daniel Blau
« La Libération de Paris vue par les photographes de LIFE Magazine »
From 2 to 25 november
Opening the 2nd november 17 - 21 h
The occupation of Paris during the Second World War was a dark and trying time for the city and its inhabitants. Under Nazi control for four years, Paris and its citizens endured hardship and lived in constant fear. However, on August 25, 1944, Parisians rose up against the occupying forces, resulting in the Liberation of Paris. The city was finally liberated and the resistance fighters, alongside the Allied forces, marched triumphantly through the streets. Back in Paris, Charles de Gaulle gave his famous speech at the Hôtel de Ville to a jubilant crowd of Parisians: Paris! An outraged Paris! A broken Paris! A martyred Paris! But...a liberated Paris. An improvised speech celebrating the liberation of the city and calling for national unity. Unidentified, and prominent photographers such as Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bert Brandt, Andy Lopez or Robert Capa, were present and accurately documented the transformation of the city from a place of oppression to a place of freedom. The events of the city's historic liberation, captured in a series of expressive pictures by LIFE photographers, today, provide a vivid and powerful panorama. These photographs are not just images frozen in time, they are a testament to the resilience and courage of the people of Paris during this difficult period.
OEUVRES CHOISIES
GALERIES NICOLAS BOURRIAUD
From 13/10/2023 to 01/12/2023
C’est un grand honneur pour moi de vous donner la primeur de notre plus belle sélection d’œuvres en ce mois d’octobre 2023. L’éclectisme est certainement notre marque de fabrique, et je suis heureux de vous proposer aujourd’hui un ensemble de vingt sculptures animalières et figuratives des XIXe et XXe siècles. Le romantisme est représenté par la statuaire d’Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875) dont nous présentons deux bronzes dont Thésée combattant le Minotaure (première version) (1843), provenant d’un célèbre marchand d’art lyonnais du milieu du XIXe et d’une exceptionnelle qualité de fonte. L’engouement de ce siècle pour l’exotisme, est représenté ici par un bronze atypique de Christophe Fratin (1801-1864) Éléphant, promenade en palanquin (circa 1850) ; un modèle ambitieux qui peut être considéré à juste titre comme l’un de ses chefs d’œuvre. Il nous donne à rêver des fastes de l’Inde des rois : ceux qui avaient l’honneur de siéger dans ces palanquins étaient les maharajas, chefs religieux, militaires et politiques, mais aussi protecteurs et mécènes des arts. Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875) quant à lui, est évoqué par Ève après la faute (1871), terre cuite d’édition à patine rosée, signée « JB CARPEAUX », datée 1872. Il n’en existe que neuf exemplaires répertoriés et l’empreinte est ici d’une formidable vigueur. D’Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), nous exposons un Masque de l'homme au nez cassé, version dite de type II, 2ème modèle, (1863-1864) dont le sculpteur disait « C’est la première bonne sculpture que j’ai faite [...] Je n’ai jamais réussi à faire une figure aussi bonne que le Nez cassé ». Notre version a été conçue vers 1903, cette épreuve en bronze fondue en novembre 1926. De son ami, Jules Desbois (1851-1935) une superbe Salomé, provenant de la collection Robert de Rothschild. Le sculpteur possède son propre musée à Parçay-les-pins, près d’Angers.
Abordons maintenant les animaliers du XXe siècle, parmi eux : Josette Hébert-Coëffin (1908-1974), honneur aux dames, et ses charmants Canetons accoudés (circa 1955), Gustave Hierholtz (1877-1954) Éléphant arrachant une souche (circa 1940) et Georges Hilbert (1900-1982) avec son Chimpanzé, à l’expression familière et attachante, replié sur lui-même, semblant extrait d’un bloc de pierre. Il synthétise à lui seul les influences conjointes de Mateo Hernández et de François Pompon. Rembrandt Bugatti (1884-1916) quant à lui, nous fascine toujours par son exceptionnel talent ; il nous livre ici un Éléphant d’Asie en marche (petit modèle 1909-1910) dont son fondeur attitré Hébrard, a réalisé sous le contrôle d’ Albino Palazzolo, une fonte exceptionnelle doublée d’une remarquable patine brune chaudement nuancée.
On ne saurait terminer cette liste non exhaustive, sans parler de ce sculpteur délicat et discret Manuel Martinez Hugué ditManolo (1872-1945) et sa Femme nue accroupie (1912). Sculpteur protégé d’Henri Kahnweiler, ce dernier l’a fait travailler sous contrat à partir de 1910. De la même période, Les fils de Caïn : le berger de Paul Landowski (1875-1961). Jeune, nu, il figure l’Humanité des premiers âges, les tribus nomades du désert, la marche éternelle des peuples sur le sable et sous le ciel. D’un pas rythmé, d’un pied allègre, il semble résolument se mettre en marche vers l’avenir. Tel est mon souhait pour cette seconde édition d’ Œuvres choisies, dans notre galerie du 1, quai Voltaire. Nicolas Bourriaud

Exhibition « La terre à échelle humaine »
Galerie Capazza
From 16/09/2023 to 19/11/2023
« Claudi Casanovas, Claude Champy et Bernard Dejonghe sont des pairs, qui se respectent et qui s’estiment. Ils sont reliés par des fondements qui habitent leur pratique artistique : le rapport à la géologie, à une forme de tellurisme, à l’étude du matériau et de la matière, à la place offerte au feu.
Ce sont des chercheurs, des hommes engagés à creuser un sillon, inexorablement. Non pas pour être marquants, mais pour marquer. Marquer la terre de leurs gestes, modeler, presser, griffer, superposer, gratter, couper, émailler… être à la fois dedans et dehors, habiter l’espace offert par l’œuvre en devenir.
Leurs œuvres nous offrent un trait d’union entre l’homme et la nature, elles nous relient à quelque chose qui nous dépasse… une vibration, un sentiment intérieur d’être enfin en lien avec le dessus ou le dessous, au choix .../...
Voilà pourquoi nous sommes farouchement heureux de rassembler ces trois figures majeures de l’art contemporain, car finalement ce sont des artistes qui ont fait le choix de rester à échelle humaine. Ils sont à la fois géants et minuscules, et ils en ont conscience… quoi de mieux comme exemple de vie ? »

Pose et mouvement, expression corporelle de Rodin à Gormley
GALERIE BRAME & LORENCEAU
From 15/06/2023 to 21/07/2023
Cet été, la galerie Brame et Lorenceau présente un ensemble de peintures, dessins et sculptures de l’impressionnisme à nos jours.
Les artistes confèrent au corps une expression en lien tant avec leur onirisme propre qu’avec les évolutions sociologiques de leur temps.
Corps rêvé, métamorphosé ou abstrait, le parcours de l’exposition est l’occasion de dialogues entre approches esthétiques individuelles et idées issues de courants intellectuels et artistiques (surréalisme, cubisme, abstraction lyrique…) incarnant de nouvelles occurrences formelles.
RODIN, maîtres, praticiens, amis
GALERIES NICOLAS BOURRIAUD
From 08/06/2023 to 20/07/2023
Notre exposition s’inspire directement de celle organisée par Cécile Goldscheider au Musée Rodin en 1957 Rodin : ses collaborateurs et ses amis. En optant pour le même chapitrage, à notre tour, nous présentons ici certaines de ses œuvres ainsi que celles de ses maîtres, praticiens et amis. Nous évoquons ainsi tout d’abord Barye et Carrier-Belleuse, mais aussi Carpeaux qu’il vit pour la première fois à la Petite École. Ces trois sculpteurs, chacun à leur manière, ont influencé durablement son jeune talent. D’Auguste Rodin, nous présentons trois œuvres emblématiques : L’Âge d’airain, l’Éternel Printemps, le Baiser. Elles constituent en quelque sorte le socle de l’exposition et nous amènent à évoquer les praticiens qui constituent son atelier ; dès les années 1880, pour faire face à des commandes croissantes, Rodin s’entoure d’assistants, qui sont des praticiens, metteurs aux points, mouleurs ou chefs d’atelier et que Bourdelle, l’un d’entre eux, représenté ici par La Vierge à l’offrande, décrit ainsi : « Il s’agit là d’un procédé très largement répandu au XIXe siècle, la plupart des statuaires se déchargeant de la taille, devenue une opération mécanique, sur des assistants ou des ouvriers spécialisés. Pour Rodin, comme pour ses contemporains, le travail de sculpture consiste dans le modelage de la terre, ou l’assemblage des plâtres, de façon à créer des groupes dont la réalisation en matériau définitif est toujours confiée à d’autres, fondeur ou praticien qu’il s’agit d’un bronze ou d’un marbre ». C’est d’ailleurs un magistral « buste hommage » Buste d’Auguste Rodin 1899 par Falguière qui vient ici sacraliser le portrait du maître en cette fin de siècle. Mais au tournant du XXe siècle, les praticiens et amis, tous présents dans l’exposition, s’émancipent : Bourdelle, Dejean, Desbois, Despiau, Drivier, Maillol, Pompon cherchent comment intégrer la leçon du sculpteur tout en se dégageant de son ombre écrasante. C’est ainsi qu’entre 1905 et 1914 s’écrit à Paris l’une des grandes pages de la sculpture moderne.
Certains artistes comme Maillol et Bourdelle changent de style. Cette césure intervient également dans la sculpture animalière avec Pompon dont nous présentons un Coq (1913)
où la plénitude de la masse vibre par le seul jeu des lumières. D’autres élèves de l’atelier de Rodin vont sortir des pas du maître en développant un style plus sobre. Lucien Schnegg est de ceux-là. Il devient le chef de file de « la bande à Schnegg ».Tous ces sculpteurs, anciens élèves et / ou praticiens de Rodin ont en commun un savoir technique indubitable et un attrait pour les formes épurées héritées de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Certains d’entre eux, tel Dejean, revendiquent ouvertement cette filiation : « Devant les Grecs, j’éprouve un bienfaisant sentiment de repos, tandis que chez Rodin je ne puis me cacher de ce déséquilibre. ». Parmi les amis, citons Joseph Bernard ou bien encore Alfred Boucher avec son célèbre Volubilis ; ce sont sur ses recommandations que Rodin et Camille Claudel se sont rencontrés… Un ensemble de photographies provenant du fonds Gustave Coquiot-Mauricia de Thiers et ayant servi à l’illustration du livre Rodin à l’hôtel de Biron et à Meudon (1917), viennent compléter ce panorama. On s’arrêtera pour finir sur ce saisissant Portrait de Rodin coiffé d’un béretpar Claude Harris (circa 1914), puissant et sensible à la fois, dont la présence sur fond noir relève du plus beau des clairs obscurs.

TEFAF Maastricht is widely regarded as the world’s premier fair for fine art, antiques and design. Featuring over 275 prestigious dealers from some 20 countries, TEFAF Maastricht is a showcase for the finest art works currently on the market. Alongside the traditional areas of Old Master paintings, antiques, and classical antiquities that cover approximately half of the fair, you can also find modern and contemporary art, jewelry, 20th-century design and works on paper.
From the moment the fair first opened its doors in 1988 at the MECC in Maastricht, TEFAF has been dedicated to presenting the world’s finest art—across categories—under one roof. What began as a radical idea for a new fair model has transformed into “the greatest fair in the world,” according to one of TEFAF’s first exhibitors, Old Master dealer Johnny van Haeften.
A commitment to excellence, rigorous vetting standards, and an unparalleled collecting experience have remained constant in TEFAF’s journey to today.

A century since his rediscovery, and a few decades after the monographic exhibitions in Bergamo and New York (Accademia Carrara, 1996; Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000), Evaristo Baschenis (Bergamo, 1617-1677) is presented for the first time to the French public through a limited group of works (nine paintings) displaying his treatment of the subject of music, which brought him fame and fortune during his lifetime.
Baschenis invented an iconography that appealed to lovers of both art and music, ennobling the still life genre by raising precious instruments from the renowned workshops of Brescia, Cremona, Padua and Venice to the rank of absolute protagonists. His admiration for these wonderfully crafted pieces is conveyed by the absolute fidelity with which he portrays them “dal vero”, in a sophisticated musical play of shapes and colours, with splendid curtains framing scenes drawn from some personal theatrical stage. The painter-musician’s devotion to his subject also shines out in his signatures, applied with typically Baroque inventiveness to the instruments themselves, suggesting that he not only painted them but also built them, in imitation of his beloved luthiers Hartung, Gasparo da Salò, Tieffenbrucker and Sellas.
In the motionless magic of his compositions, and the slight veil of dust that covers some of his instruments, we feel a sense of expectation, like a metaphysical meditation on the world, experienced in the silence of suspended time.
Research for this exhibition has made it possible to discover that the score of one of the paintings (no. 4 in the catalogue) is that of a famous madrigal by the Flemish composer Roland de Lassus (Mons, 1532 – Munich, 1594), with lyrics from sonnet CLIX of the Canzoniere by Petrarch (1304-1374). This is a rare occurrence in the painting of the period, and indeed unique in Baschenis’s oeuvre; scholars have hitherto regarded his images of musical scores as based on fantasy. By the same token this discovery confirms Petrarch’s enduring fame in the seventeenth century.
This importance of this event – organized by the Canesso Gallery in conjunction with the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo and the Museo Teatrale alla Scala in Milan, each of which is lending a painting – is attested to by the high quality of the works on display, outstanding among which are the grand canvases of the Agliardi Triptych (c. 1665), Baschenis’ finest masterpiece. These pictures will be exhibited alongside a selection of ancient instruments including a Spinet by Graziado Antegnati (1523/1525 - c. 1590 ), a Roman Theorbo by Giovanni Tesler (active in Ancona between 1600 and 1650), a Guitar by Giorgio Sellas (c. 1585-1649), a Violin by Nicolò Amati (1596-1682), and a Mandolin attributed to Giacomo Ertel (c. 1646-1711).
The exhibition is under the generous patronage of the Italian Embassy in Paris.

ANDY DENZLER - Out of the Dark
OPERA GALLERY
From 24/03/2022 to 21/04/2022
Unlike most artists, Andy Denzler first dedicated his career to abstraction, for a decade, before setting out to depict reality. In 2001, he started his journey down a path of his own, and has since explored a visual language which is instantly recognizable and interweaves figurative and abstract expression.
A painter and photographer by training, Andy Denzler begins his creative process using his camera like a sketch book in his studio. He draws his inspiration therefrom for the postures he instils in his characters, as well as the light and framing that epitomise his compositions. Each painting is the product of several phases in which the artist warps the image, first freshly-painted in thick layers then distorded across the canvas using a spatula and a brush. The streaks and grooves thus formed blur and distort the painting, much in the manner of a paused image on an old VHS tape. From this disrupted representation of reality surfaces a paradox: the viewer is able to decipher and distinguish what is, in the end, somewhat indistinct. As it is, the true subject of his paintings is just as much what is depicted captured as the means used to achieve this form of depiction.
In this new opus, Andy Denzler pursues his exploration of motion, time and the human figure as the core concerns of his art. He has created a series of intimate portraits in private interiors, as well as outdoor scenes made up of various elements assembled together. In his portraits, which mirror today’s society, the artist captures his characters emotional state and introspective stance. A certain fragility and a great silence exude from these figures that appear to fade, inevitably evoking the passing of time. In more complex scenes, Denzler also plays with our perception and leads us to question a different reality. Calling on his own memories, he composes surreal collages in which snatches of everyday life merge.
Denzler’s palette still mainly encompasses a range of flesh-coloured tones as well as ochres, browns, blacks and greys, inspired by faded polaroids or old sun-exposed photographs. Though sometimes a little dark, these colours are always soft and conjure a world imbued with calm in a digital-era society where our minds and spirits are often overly stimulated.
We invite our collectors and visitors to immerse themselves in Andy Denzler’s universe, take the time to converse with his paintings and thus explore the relationship between human nature and its materiality on the surface of a canvas.

Germaine Richier and color
GALERIE DE LA BÉRAUDIÈRE
From 20/01/2022 to 29/04/2022
Germaine Richier, nicknamed ‘The Hurricane’ by her close friends in reference to one of her sculptures, was born in Provence in 1902. She received classical training in Paris in the studio of Bourdelle (a former student of Rodin), whose technique would have a lasting impact on her artistic practice.
All of this sculptor’s plastic work is devoted to the human figure. At first, she made realistic busts and nudes, but later her work evolved towards hybrid figures. Richier creates the groundwork for a singular language, proposing a strong dialogue between humans and nature. She pushes this experiment to the point of grafting tree branches, leaves, stones and various organic elements into plaster.
Richier treats the material as if it had undergone erosion, working notches and scratches into it, playing with an aesthetic of randomness that was very modern for her time. Through this violent treatment, she explores new images of humanitý in an era marked by war. Her work confronts the brutality of conflict and the fragility of the human spirit in moving and powerful sculptures.
Colour played a consistent role in the works made during the last ten years of her life. It appears in different forms: paint, enamel or coloured glass. ‘Colour is used, not to suggest a detail, but to disrupt the unity of the form, to reinforce the strangeness of the work, to create material effects, to catch and surprise the viewer. ... It also allows her to collaborate with painter friends such as Maria Helena Viera da Silva, Hans Hartung and Zao Wou-Ki.’1
Richier was one of the first French sculptors to enjoy international success during her lifetime. By 1952 she had already exhibited in numerous museums in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany as well as in the United States and South America. In 1956 she was also the first woman to have a retrospective at the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris. In 1959 she had a retrospective exhibition at the Picasso Museum in Antibes, which would also be the last exhibition during the artist’s lifetime. Germaine Richier died too young, at the age of 57, in 1959.
Galerie de la Beìraudière is happy to devote an exhibition to this extraordinary artist that focuses on the use of colour in her works. The scenography will be realized by the talented Charles Kaisin. A catalogue will be published on this occasion.

GALERIE PATRICK & ONDINE MESTDAGH
From 24/09/2021 to 26/09/2021
Patrick et Ondine Mestdagh invitent Bart Suys.
Bart Suys a créé des œuvres sur papier en 2020 et 2021. Elles sont de petite taille et représentent des coquillages. Différentes versions de chaque type de coquillage ont été réalisées. Comme l'intention n'était pas de produire des copies de ce que la nature offre, les couleurs ont été diamétralement choisies afin de ne correspondre en rien à celles du coquillage en question. De plus, la cavité dans laquelle se trouvait le mollusque a été laissée blanche comme du papier et non pas, comme on pourrait s'y attendre, rendue ombragée. Tout cela entraîne une certaine confusion avec laquelle l'idée de "coquille" est toujours présente et où elle prend une dimension supplémentaire. Le spectateur se demande ce que l'œuvre représente ou y voit quelque chose qui ne correspond pas au point de départ. Mais la reconnaissance de la sensualité peut aussi s'installer dans l'esprit du spectateur, grâce aux formes représentées et aux couleurs attrayantes.

Le dessin un art de vivre
GALERIE DIL
From 08/06/2021 to 30/06/2021
Le dessin est un art de vivre, indépendant, il est bien plus représentatif de l’art dans une volonté d’être authentique.
Préparatoire ou non, le dessin offre un champ d’expression créatif, plus libéral, entre corps, espace, profondeur, ainsi une tridimensionnalité et un mouvement rendu visible par cette technique.
Réservé à de vrais collectionneurs, à la fois plus aguerri et plus pointu que la peinture dite de salon ou décorative, le dessin est définitivement plus technique.
L’encre de Chine démontre bien cette particularité, elle nécessite une maîtrise totale de son art et ne peut donc être ni gommée, ni réparée.
Ainsi du 8 au 30 juin 2021 à l’occasion de l’événement du Salon du Dessin pour sa 30ème édition, la Galerie DIL exposera ses plus beaux papiers consacrés aux grandes personnalités artistiques du XXème siècle.

Sigismond Kolos-vary 2021
KALMAN MAKLARY FINE ARTS
From 18/03/2021 to 15/04/2021
Sigismond Kolos-Vary (1899–1983) came to abstraction in the fifties through a long and patient philosophical exploration of the reality experienced during his remarkable life. Having been born in Transylvania he attended the School of Applied Arts in Budapest from 1915-1918, then the School of Decorative Arts until 1925. After which he travelled through Switzerland and Italy, where he was influenced by the lineal space of Uccello, before settling in Paris where he was soon embraced by the avant-garde artists of the École de Paris.
In 1928 Kolos-Vary held his first one-man show at Galerie Miromesnil, the success of this led to numerous subsequent exhibitions, commencing with the prestigious Galerie Bonaparte in 1929, and Galerie Povolosky in 1930, for which the catalogue introduction was written by Pierre Guéguen. During this time he was also invited to exhibit in the Salon d’Automne, and the Salon des Indépendants. This early period is characterised by surreal semi-figurative compositions, of elaborate mystical imagery.
The artist’s success was however abruptly interrupted by the outbreak of the war, during which Kolos-Vary was put in a concentration camp, but fortunately managed to escape after two years and cross the border into Switzerland, where he remained until the end of the war, at which time he returned again to Paris.
Following this experience Kolos-Vary submerged himself in his painting, producing increasingly powerful compositions. These works were highly acclaimed in 1946 when shown at an important exhibition at the Musée National d’Art Moderne de Paris organised by Jean Cassou. The artist was then approached by eminent art dealer Jean Bucher who gave Kolos-Vary a major one-man show at his eponymous gallery in 1948. During this post-war period Kolos-Vary participated in the radical Salon de Mai, 1949-1958, the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, 1956-1961, and the Salon des Comparaisons, 1960-1962.
Kolos-Vary attained pure abstraction in the late 1950’s, as a direct progression of his exploration of the sub-conscious fantastic imagery into which he had become immersed. “Aprés L’Orage” is a magnificent example of this period, dominated by vibrant ethereal forms. His writings explain that these wonderfully harmonious compositions are strictly linked to nature through a new spatial interpretation, having found the perceived world too limited. These extraordinary evocative works brought the artist international recognition, and exhibitions in New York 1959; London, 1961; Japan, 1961; and elsewhere including Geneva, Basel, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan.
Prizes: Prix de la Critique, 1953; Prix de Lissone, 1957; Priz Marzotto, 1960; Prix des Onze, 1966.
The artist’s work is represented in many major museums of modern art, including Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Musée National d’Art Moderne de Paris; Musée des Beaux Arts, Lille; Budapest; Jerusalem; Pécs; Algiers; Milwaukee, USA.

BERNARD DESCHEEMAEKER - WORKS OF ART
From 08/03/2021 to 04/04/2021
The present period which I consider to be the transitional years between two historical periods, spontaneously remind me of the years 1450-1520. At that time a number of events occurred which similarly changed political structures, economic developments, religious life and the thinking of people in Europe to such a degree, that nowadays we regard that period as the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, or in cultural terms, as the shift from the Gothic to the Renaissance.
The present catalogue contains a selection of works of art, which were all created in the transition years between the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

PAUL KLEE: EARLY AND LATE YEARS, 1894-1940
MOELLER FINE ART
From 05/05/2013 to 13/06/2013
Moeller Fine Art is pleased to announce "Paul Klee: Early and Late Years, 1894-1940," to take place in its New York gallery from 6 May - 14 June. The exhibition brings together 35 works, including loans from the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, rarely seen examples from private collections and works for sale, highlighting seminal moments from the artist's oeuvre of the 1910s to the poignancy of his final years.
Dame, ruhend, 1911, among the earliest works in the exhibition, already shows Paul Klee (1879-1940) working in a characteristic vein of whimsical simplicity, as he depicts a woman lying under a parasol in black and white. Cubist and Futurist tendencies further refined such whimsy by 1913, and were intensified with the introduction of color following Klee's visit to North Africa the following year. Works like Städtebild, 1915 are emblematic of this new and daring palette, which Klee expertly employed to depict stacked forms condensed in a shallow space. At the same time, Klee was honing the delicate line which would come to typify his work, often heightened by poetic allusion in its content and experimentation with new media. Auserwählter Knabe, 1918, a pivotal work of this period, shows an ethereal child, suspended among hovering forms in a composition created from two pieces of primed linen cut and recombined on cardboard.
With the rise of the Nazi regime, the pathos latent in such images only deepened when Klee was dismissed from his position at The Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf in 1933 and returned to his native Bern. At this time he began to see himself as a damaged fruit, as, for instance, in Beulen Birne, 1934, which once belonged to Ernest Hemingway. In this work, Klee finds a visual parallel of his inner state in an overripe pear, depicted in deepest blue. In 1935, Klee was diagnosed with scleroderma, a debilitating disease which at once forced him to face his own mortality and spurred his creative output. Klee's final years communicate the essence of his work more immediately than any other period: Das kranke Herz, 1939, displays a colorful lexicon of pained, child-like symbols with a punctured heart at its center. In der Leibeshöhle, 1940, created the year of the artist's death, depicts a black bird-like figure with an amorphous mass in its body cavity, perhaps consuming itself from within or sending inspiration out into the world.
An illustrated catalogue, including an essay by Christine Hopfengart, accompanies the exhibition.

SHADOW OF THE BOTTLE RACK: ANDRÉ RAFFRAY & CLIVE BARKER
MOELLER FINE ART
From 16/09/2010 to 28/01/2011
Moeller Fine Art Berlin is pleased to present an exhibition of work by French artist André Raffray and British artist Clive Barker. Despite diverse approaches in medium and technique, both artists use appropriation as a conceptual point of departure. Appropriation refers to the taking over of a real object, or even an existing work of art, into another work of art. This exhibition explores the diversity and originality of Raffray’s and Barker’s responses to the notions of copy, appropriation and homage.
André Raffray (1925-2010), deemed “the painter of paintings”, takes art itself as the model for his work, from masterpieces by Courbet and van Gogh to Duchamp and Picasso. Completely self-taught, André Raffray started making his own art around the age of forty-five. He applied the skills he acquired at the French film studio, Gaumont, where he made “fake” paintings for movie sets. Raffray’s studied and subtle reflections on the canon of art history are almost indistinguishable from the originals, and yet entirely personal engagements with them.
The title of the exhibition “Shadow of the Bottle Rack” takes its name from Raffray’s installation created in 1993, in which he suspends Duchamp’s well-known bottle rack at an angle from the ceiling in front of a white canvas on which he himself has drawn a shadow. A related work, “First Sketch of The Large Glass by Marcel Duchamp”, 1992, is a drawing after a photograph of a drawing of Duchamp’s “Large Glass” which the artist had executed directly on the wall of his New York studio. Duchamp’s study of the Large Glass was destroyed and with this pencil reproduction Raffray resuscitated the important sketch that led to his masterpiece “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even”, or “The Large Glass”, (1915-23). Raffray’s version is composed of pencil on primed, painted plywood and will be incorporated onto the wall of the gallery. With the same technique, Raffray painted two individual portraits from Picasso’s revolutionary “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon”, while staying true to the proportions of the original. The complete version of Raffray’s own “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” is located at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
“I can hardly believe it was only this year (2000) that I learned about Raffray's mind- and eye-boggling contributions to "art about art”, especially since he's been at it since the '70s. For me, he now looms large as a venerable French magician who has added dazzling tricks to the metaphysical sleights of hand of such artist-counterfeiters as de Chirico and Bidlo.” –Robert Rosenblum, ARTFORUM, December 2000, Best of 2000, about the exhibition “André Raffray: Hommage a l’art“ at Moeller Fine Art, New York
André Raffray has exhibited extensively worldwide before and after his death in Paris on 6 January 2010. From December 2009 to April 2010, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest held the solo exhibition, “André Raffray: le peintre des peintures [the painter of painters],” In March 2010, the artist was included in the group exhibition “Seconde Main [second hand]” at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Currently, the Musée Denon in Chalon-sur-Saone's is exhibiting André Raffray, La Peinture recommencée [the painting restarted]"
Clive Barker, (b. 1940) has redefined and expanded upon Marcel Duchamp’s concept of the Ready-made. Rather than simply taking things as he finds them, Barker commissions icons of art history or Pop culture to be reproduced in gleaming materials of his choosing. Barker’s informal art education consisted of studying at Luton College of Technology and Art in 1957, and dropping out the same year. Perhaps more influential to his work was the time he spent on the assembly line of the Vauxhall car factory at Luton, where he witnessed the precision and beauty of the freshly fabricated automobiles clad in shiny metal and upholstered in sensuous leather.
Barker’s work is something of a paradox in that it questions (and at times also mocks) many of the principles of traditional, modernist art, while also instilling itself with obvious references to a great variety of art from all periods. With “Venus Escargot”, 1987, Barker playfully alludes to the classical tradition of sculpture by casting in patinated bronze the head of the Venus de Milo and covering her eyes with snails. In contrast is Barker’s Kitsch arrangement “Victorian Fruit”, 1969, composed of a bowl filled with a multitude of fruits gleaming in chrome and encased in an antique glass cover. The techniques and materials he employs, the almost heroic elevation of the commonplace, the humorous overtones and the acceptance of the banal and the kitsch all contribute to the provocative originality of Barker’s work. His aesthetic is not rooted in theory or art history, but in personal experience and a subtly developed response to celebrated images.
Clive Barker lives and works in England. In london, throughout the 1960s and 70s, He was given one-man exhibitions at Robert Fraser Gallery, Hanover Gallery, and Anthony d’Offay Gallery, in addition to a retrospective exhibition at Mappin Art Gallery, Sheffield. In 1987, London's The National Portrait Gallery a held solo exhibition of his sculptures and drawings entitled “Portraits”. In 2001, Barker showed two works in “Pop Art: US/UK Connections 1956-1966” at The Menil Collection, Houston, and, in 2004, he was included in the exhibition “Art & the 60s: This was Tomorrow” at Tate Britain. Close friends with artists Peter Blake, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton and Francis Bacon, Berker was very active in the 1960s London scene, associating with The Beatles and former girlfriend Marianne Faithfull.

MOELLER FINE ART
From 27/04/2009 to 19/06/2009
As part of its inaugural exhibition, Moeller Fine Art Berlin presented "Your Uncle Feininger: Comics, Fairy Tales, and Toys", exploring little-known aspects in the work of Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956). For the first time, the preparatory figure and nature studies for Feininger's comic strips, The Kin-der-Kids and Wee Willie Winkie's World, were shown alongside original broadsheets from The Chicago Sunday Tribune, where they were published in 1906-1907.
The exhibition also included 68 hand-carved and painted wooden figures and houses created between 1925 and 1955. This unique group is the largest of its kind in the world, and belonged to the Feininger's eldest son, Andreas.
In 1913, Lyonel Feininger also designed a series of toy trains for the Munich manufacturer Otto Löwenstein. Due to the outbreak of the First World War, however, only the prototypes were realized. The preparatory drawings for these were only recently discovered, were shown at Moeller Fine Art Berlin for the first time. In addition, five drawings of 1908 for Hans Bondy's edition of Norwegische Volksmärchen (Norwegian Folktales) will be shown.
