In den letzten zwei Monaten konnten wir mehrere außergewöhnliche Ausstellungen in Paris, Marseille und in unserer schönen Region (Antibes und Maeght Foundation de St. Paul de Vence) besuchen. Diese Ausstellungen (mit Ausnahme von « Rouge » im Grand Palais in Paris) sind noch einige Wochen geöffnet.

From March 30, 2019 to July 1, 2019.
« Rouge. Art et utopie au pays des Soviets ».
The exhibition presents a collection of more than 400 works conceived in a particular social and political context. Its chronological journey begins in 1917 with the October Revolution and ends in 1953, the year of Stalin's death.
It questions the way in which the project of communist society engendered specific forms of art. From the 1920s, marked by a large number of avant-garde proposals, to the 1930s which saw the affirmation of an aesthetic dogma, the course covers all areas of the visual arts: painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, cinema , design, graphic arts with works, mostly never shown in France.
Artists such as Rodchenko, Malevich, Klutsis ... wanted to accompany by their works the building of socialism and contribute to the transformation of the way of life of the masses. It is this story, its tensions, its upsurges as well as its reversals that the exhibition relates in posing the question of a possible politicization of the arts.
We hope you were able to visit this beautiful exhibition that closed on July 1st!

From April 24 to September 2, 2019.
Painter, writer, inventor of « Art Brut », Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) was a major player in the 20th century art scene.
In the aftermath of the Second World War, this elusive and controversial artist brought into play a radical critique of the art and culture of his time, making invention constantly renewed the pillar of creation and thought. Borrowing from anthropology, folklore or the field of psychiatry, he continues the activity of decompartmentalization operated by the avant-gardes of the inter-war period, dynamite the belief in a supposedly primitive art and opens new paths Creation.
This exhibition shows how Jean Dubuffet interweaves in his work his painting and writing activities with the research he has devoted to what he calls the Art Brut. The ehibition presents her artistic production in all its diversity, paying particular attention to showing the objects and documents resulting from the surveys that it has implemented by visiting ethnographic or folk art museums, but also various collections dedicated to « the art of fools ».
The exhibition « Jean Dubuffet, un barbare en Europe » (« Jean Dubuffet, a barbarian in Europe ») presents more than 300 works and objects from the largest French and European collections.
A very beautiful exhibition!

From May 31 to July 15, 2019.
The exhibition is organized at the Cyclades gallery in Antibes with the help of Mathias Springer, son of the artist. The « Carnets » or « Journaux » mark, in Ferdinand Springer's work, the transition from figuration to abstraction. They were made in Grasse during the war in the period following his demobilization and which precedes his flight to Switzerland, or during the immediate post-war period. All these works on paper are very small, which is explained by the lack of materials during and after the war. Alberto Magnelli, also in Grasse at that time, painted on sandpaper or slates for the same reasons. These works were patiently collected in the form of different « Journaux » by Marcelle Springer, the painter's wife. This exhibition shows a part of the works recorded in three « Journaux »: « Journal 1942, Grasse », which contains the first non-figurative works of the painter, « Journal 1945-1947 » and « Journal 1948 », which contain works also carried out in Grasse.
Jewelry ! A must see !

From June 29 to November 17, 2019.
The exhibition « Joan Miro - Au-delà de la peinture » (« Joan Miro - Beyond Painting ») at the Maeght Foundation of Saint-Paul de Vence, brings together an extraordinary collection of graphic works by the artist. It offers the public to (re)discover this essential part of his work. The exhibition focuses on the work process of Joan Miró who created one of the most remarkable engraved works in art history. Resulting in large part from an exceptional donation made by Adrien Maeght, who worked with the artist in his print atelier ARTE, more than 200 works are presented, including a set of unpublished gouaches. Models, posters, engravings, original lithographs, printing plates, « bons à tirer » and bibliophile books, complete the exhibition to highlight this prodigious creation.
Neither abstract nor figurative, Miró never ceased to develop a resolutely new and poetic language, as much in his painting as in all his modes of artistic expression whose graphic work remains an area of  first importance.
A great success and a particularly exciting exhibition for all lovers of printmaking!

and very soon :



From July 6 to November 3, 2019.
The exhibition « Niki de Saint-Phalle - L'ombre et la lumière » (« Niki de Saint-Phalle - Shadow and Light ») will open in a few days (July 6) in Cannes and will continue until the beginning of November this year. This event will be organized around two different places: the Art Center of La Malmaison, on the Croisette, and Villa Domergue (this part being visible from July 7 to September 22), on the heights of the city. Niki de Saint Phalle is one of the most important artists of the last century. As a sculptor, painter, visual artist and filmmaker, Niki de Saint Phalle has created iconic works that have marked the general public but also a young generation of artists who still claim their legacy. The exhibition is a tribute to the luminous character of this artist who has never denied her femininity.
To discover, with impatience!.
