Galerie Nicolas Bourriaud celebrates its 10th year

Galerie Nicolas Bourriaud is celebrating its 10th anniversary: a unique opportunity to bring together clients, friends and family to celebrate this milestone in the life of a gallery owner. Festive evening on Thursday 5 June from 6pm at 205, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
Exhibition from 6 June to 12 July 2025
 

Nicolas Bourriaud remembers: …my first Bugatti, Il y arrivera, my first Rodin, L'âge d'airain cast by Alexis Rudier, followed by a rare Panthère noire by Pompon, or Barye's exceptional sculpture, Angélique et Roger montés sur l'hippogriffe (bouche ouverte), of which only three exist... And these carefully chosen works have met their collectors through wonderful exchanges, new friendships and unforgettable moments of shared passion… Museums and institutions also play an important role in the gallery's reputation. For example, the Musée Rodin was able to acquire the Buste de jeune femme aux roses dans les cheveux by the eponymous master, which I presented to them, and more recently, the Étude pour le vase, sujet pastoral by Henry Cros, which joined the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs… Finally, for the past ten years, we have been organizing exhibitions on major themes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century sculpture, illustrated by often unique masterpieces, such as Les sculpteurs du Jardin des Plantes; Le Groupe des Douze; Rodin, maître, praticiens et amis... In this way, I also seek to highlight artists who are particularly important to me, such as Antoine-Louis Barye, of course, but also Jules Dalou, for whom there hasn't been an exhibition since the Petit Palais in 2013, and Georges-Lucien Guyot…

ABOUT

Fascinated since his teenage years by 19th and 20th century sculptures, Nicolas Bourriaud began his career at an early age, in 2010, at the Louvre des Antiquaires. This productive experience enabled him to open his first gallery in 2015 at 205, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. In 2020, he set up a second gallery at 1 Quai Voltaire. Works by some of the greatest sculptors such as Barye, Belmondo, Bugatti, Carpeaux, Dalou, Godchaux, Guyot, Rodin, Pompon and Sandoz are currently on display in the two galleries. An outstanding collection of bronze artworks with nuanced patinas stamped by prestigious foundries such as Barbedienne, Hébrard, Rudier, Siot Decauville, Susse, Valsuani etc., which is also enriched by remarkable marble, terracotta, biscuit, sandstone and plaster sculptures.
