Events and exhibitions

During these last two months, we had the pleasure to visit several magnificent exhibitions in Paris, Marseille and in our beautiful region (Antibes and Fondation Maeght of St-Paul de Vence). You will notice that they remain open to the public (with the exception of � Rouge � in the Grand Palais of Paris) for a few more weeks.

GRAND PALAIS - PARIS - ROUGE

Affiche de l'exposition Rouge au Grand Palais � Paris.
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!

JEAN DUBUFFET - MUCEM - MARSEILLE

Affiche de l'exposition Jean Dubuffet au Mucem de Marseille.
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!

FERDINAND SPRINGER - THE DIMENSIONS OF ABSTRACT ART - ANTIBES

Catalogue de l'exposition Ferdinand Springer � la Galerie des Cyclades � Antibes. 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 !

JOAN MIRO - AU-DELA DE LA PEINTURE - FONDATION MAEGHT DE ST-PAUL DE VENCE

From June 29 to November 17, 2019.
The exhibition � Joan Miro - Au-del� 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 Mir� 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 � tirer � and bibliophile books, complete the exhibition to highlight this prodigious creation.
Neither abstract nor figurative, Mir� 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 :

Carton d'invitation de l'exposition Niki de Saint-phalle � Cannes.

From July 6 to November 3, 2019.
The exhibition � Niki de Saint-Phalle - L'ombre et la lumi�re � (� 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!.

A new website !

After working several months, we are happy to present you the new website. Very different in the structure from the last one (which was 15 years old), you will find again most of the sections you used to consult. Very contemporary, the conception corresponds to the new technologies. We hope you will be interested to visit the new sections, and specially, the very rich � Media Library � and a � Live contact � to provide a direct and personal service.
Furthermore, we wished you could create your online costumer space, easy to access each time you visit the site; so, you could save the access to the artworks you like and eventually order them.
Opening up the new site, Michelle Champetier wants to thank all the translators (Marie, Sara, Fran�oise, Gilbert and Caroline) who worked hard, so that you can access to a lot of pages (in particular biographies) and a considerable amount of information in English, Italian, Spanish, and German language.
Furthermore, because of its structure, you can access and consult the site on all types of digital medias: computer, tablets and cell phone.

Since few months, we created the possibility of proposing you a vision of the works in their details by a � hover over the image to zoom in � or by an � enlarge image � by a simple click.
The bibliographies of the artists presented on our website gave you tracks of reading with only 4 works; we enriched these lists of books (10 now !)
After, at the beginning of the year, our highlight of our album � The Childhood of Art �, discover in our menu, also under the heading, � Media Library �, our new section � The stamps � !

2 . � Roger Platiel, L'oeuvre graphique 1956-1978 �, after numerous working months, is also available for consultation on Internet : www.rogerplatiel.com/. This catalogue raisonn�, with 200 references, is published in a paper version. This original edition is of 210 copies (10 Deluxe copies + 200 copies). Do not hesitate to obtain the catalog by an order in our gallery.
3 . � Jim Monson, L'oeuvre graphique 1966-2016 � is available on Internet ; established in association with the artist, the catalog contains 178 r�f�rences (etchings, lithographs and woodcuts). Bilingual (French-English), you can consult it, in english language, by clicking the following address:

Our first edition

Gravure de Renaud Allirand, - Nuit d'�t� II -, �dit�e en 2016 par la Galerie Micelle Champetier. Our first edition of prints was produced one year ago: two original engravings by Renaud Allirand. Each one was printed in 12 copies. These two beautiful etchiings, � Nuit d'�t� I � and � Nuit d'�t� II � are put forward on our site.
� Nuit d'�t� I � was awarded by the Price of the Curator of the exhibition at the Portland Print Fair in 2017.

In 2018, � Nuit d'�t� I � was also selected for the 4th edition of the � Triennale de gravure de L'Isle sur Tarn � (Museum Raymond Lafage)

Sections

Most of the sections which were on our website before are saved, but they have been thought again to give you a best way, easier and more effective to access.
Do not hesitate to visit:
* � Ladies of my street � (You can access from the section � Works and artists �). This section suggests to support, with your help, some old people.
* � Between us � gathers different items, in particular � The amazing story of M. Petitchamp �, a comic strip !
* � Complete works � (You can access from the section � Services �). It presents, up to now, 548 references belonging to the gallery.
* And many other things !
We draw your attention to the section � See & discover � in � Media Library � ; this one should be considered a rich database for the artworks. It presents up to now more than 7500 references.

Errors or malfunctions

Our site is made of several ten of thousands pages! Despite our best and continuing attention and or our rechecking, you might find some errors, malfunctions and omissions on our new website.
We really appreciate receiving notification of it, so that this can be promptly remedied. Be sure that your comments are welcome as a friendly wave.
