Segoura Fine Art - Dossier de presse
19th-century works include landscapes, genre scenes, portraits and Symbolist paintings. An extraordinary work, unknown to the art market and exhibited for the first time: Allégories de la Force et du Droit, c. 1872, by Charles Revel (1829-1888) or the struggle of Prussia overthrowing France during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Charles Revel illustrates the words given to the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck: "Strength prevails over Law". He succeeded in sublimating the French defeat into a moral victory over an adversary caricatured by a carnivorous black eagle. Symbolism will also be represented by works by Jules Clarin, Nicolas-Auguste Laurens, Ange Supparo and others, as well as magnificent portraits by Franz-Xaver Winterhalter of the Countess Esher, the painter Aimée Brune-Pagès and Auguste Loustaunau. Finally, paintings depicting the Belle Époque and Parisian life: various portraits of Sarah Bernhardt, including one painted by Louise Abbema as an illustration...

Galerie Hadjer - Dossier de presse
Fernand Léger, a key figure in twentieth-century art, left an indelible mark on the world of modern art. His bold artistic exploration, fusing cubism and abstraction, extended far beyond painting to embrace textile art. His collaborations with the Aubusson tapestry workshop led to the creation of five emblematic works: : La Grande Parade, Les Constructeurs, Composition murale, Le Bonheur et Composition à la coquille. The exhibition of Fernand Léger's tapestries in Aubusson is much more than just an artistic presentation. It's a celebration of the collaboration between a visionary artist and talented craftsmen. It's a celebration of the collaboration between a visionary artist and talented craftsmen, a meeting between contemporary art and the age-old traditions of textile craftsmanship. It offers visitors a rare opportunity to admire these iconic works in all their splendour, metamorphosed in a new way. metamorphosed into tapestries of exceptional artistic and technical quality.

Rodolphe Janssen - Press Release
"Brafa opens the year, and for us, it’s important to participate with a stand proposal conceptually very different from the one we present anywhere else. We have designed a project for Brafa, its diverse public and cross-disciplinary collectors — whose interests cross a myriad of specialties, not just contemporary art — that is at once didactic, contemporary and historical, but above all full of discoveries".

Florian Kolhammer - Tribute to Georg Klimt
Anyone interested in Austrian art circa 1900 cannot avoid the name “Klimt“. The Viennese painter Gustav Klimt is now a recognized name worldwide, found in the world‘s leading museums and an important factor in the art market. Georg Klimt, the younger brother of Gustav and Ernst Klimt, was born in 1867, the fifth of seven children. He began his artistic career attending the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts from 1889 to 1896, where he studied chasing, engraving, and sculpture. After his training, Georg set up his own business in Vienna and worked as a teacher at the Art School for Women and Girls from 1901 to 1922. His life was closely connected with the art scene in Vienna circa 1900. Thus, he received early commissions from his brother Gustav and his colleagues.Among other things, he crafted his parents‘ burial cross and numerous copper frames for his brother‘s paintings. He also received commissions from the Wiener Werkstätte and other institutions...

KIM HAMISKY (Vietnam 1943-France 2002)
nitially trained as a painter, Hamisky turned to sculpture after becoming the son-in-law of Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne in 1969. Over the years, key to his iconography was the alteration of the practicality of objects as in the present sculpture Le Complex de Janus (1981). The latter addresses the duality of the positive and negative, of the inside and outside of an everyday piece of furniture, pushing the technical limits of any sculptor, and touching on the surreal...

Richard Saltoun Gallery - Press Release
Richard Saltoun Gallery presents a group stand of some of the most renowned Post-war female textile artists: Magdalena Abakanowicz (Poland 1930-2017, Olga de Amaral (Colombia, 1932), Jagoda Buić (Croatia, 1930-2022), Ewa Pachucka (Poland, 1936-2020) and Barbara Levittoux-Świderska (Poland, 1933-2019).

Notably, Abakanowicz, Buić, Pachucka and de Amaral were all included in MoMA’s pivotal 1969 exhibition Wall Hangings, the first museum exhibition to contextualise textile works within the realm of visual art.

Galerie Flak - Press kit
Since the early 20th century, illustrious predecessors such as the Surrealists around André Breton or Max Ernst, as well as Claude Lévi-Strauss, André Malraux, or Jacques Lacan, have all fallen under the spell of these polychrome wooden dolls. In turn, these pioneers have passed on their passion to entire generations of collectors. Thus, katsinam have remained, since their discovery over a hundred years ago, an endless source of dreams, poetry, and inspiration...
20 years in the making, this exhibition entitled 'Katsina Calling' presents an exceptional collection of several dozen antique Katsina dolls dating from the 1880s to the 1930s...
