artparis 2005

Carrousel du Louvre, Paris

The Art Lovers' Fair

Now in its seventh year, artparis is positioning itself for the first time ever as a spring show. This change of date was motivated by a desire to avoid the fiercely competitive atmosphere of the European autumn art fairs and to enable other 20th century art galleries to join artparis at the Carrousel du Louvre. These include the prestigious Galerie 1900-2000, Louis Carré § Cie, Die Galerie, Jeanne Bucher, Raymond Dreyfus, Liliane & Michel Durand-Dessert, Jacques Elbaz, Thessa Herold, Marwan Hoss, Samy Kinge, Larock-Granoff, Lahumière, Baudoin Lebon, Thomas Levy, Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand, and Jean-Pierre Ritsch-Fisch. A sizeable section has also been reserved for galleries from outside of Paris and from abroad: Italy, Germany and Belgium will be well represented, alongside galleries from New York, Australia, Luxembourg, Sweden and a newcomer from Japan. artparis thus continues to develop and to expand its international influence.

Retaining its modern-contemporary slant, the fair will again principally feature pictorial works from the 1910 period onwards, as well as more contemporary works. The galleries break down into three main categories, with 50% being classified as “classic/contemporary”, 25% as modern and 25% as contemporary. In addition to historically renowned artists, artparis will unveil for its audience of art lovers and established collectors a number of artists who are waiting to be discovered – or rediscovered – because of their being too far removed from a market that is often too speculative. Many galleries will also feature the latest works created by their artists, in order to meet the quality expectations of the most well-informed collectors. More affordable pieces will also allow young art lovers to step into the art market.

artparis has not, however, lost the warm and friendly spirit that dealers, collectors, art lovers and critics have recognized in it from the outset. artparis is a place to meet and exchange ideas, a place for sharing a passion that is often conveyed by the emergence of a new wave of dealers, ensuring that family-run galleries are passed from one generation to the next, such as the Galerie 1900-2000 run by Marcel and David Fleiss, Berthet-Aittouarès with Michèle and Odile Aittouarès, Jeanne Bucher and her great-niece and great-nephew Véronique and Frédéric Jaeger, Marwan Hoss with Karim Hoss, Larock-Granoff with Marc Larock, Alain and Sabine Matarasso, Philippe Samuel with his daughter Pascale, as well as Marcel Strouk’s Galerie Rive Gauche and the gallery run by his son Laurent Strouk. artparis remains the fair for everyone who is passionate about art, both for the professionals and the visitors attending. The art collections are preserved by new generations of dealers who convey their passion to new generations of customers. A true saga in the art world!

Exhibition programmes

Among the new exhibitors :

The Louis Carré & Cie gallery will be displaying the latest works by sculptor Pol Bury. Initially influenced by Belgian surrealists such as Magritte and Delvaux, the Belgian artist took up sculpture in 1953 after discovering the work of Alexander Calder. He soon became interested in movement and its slow motion, just as works by Tinguely and Agam were emerging on the art scene. All three artists are now considered as the founders of Kinetic Art. The movement took off in 1955 with an exhibition entitled Le Mouvement, at the Denis René gallery, which also showed works by Soto. The artists’ works reveal a desire to introduce time and movement into art, advocating a union between art, technology and science. In order to reproduce this movement, Pol Bury used engines that constantly varied the volumes of the work. The extreme slowness heightens our awareness of time, while the colours render their dynamism all the more complex.

Among the returning participants:

After a year’s absence, Liliane et Michel Durand-Dessert are back again and will be displaying paintings by Gérard Garouste, hailed as one of the leading figures of postmodernism in the early Eighties. By reconnecting with classic modes of representation, mythological themes and the Christian religion in his quest for images representative man’s collective memory, Garouste has breathed new life into the “historical painting” genre. Since 1950, François Morellet has been experimenting with an extremely rigorous and spare form of abstract painting composed of simple geometric shapes that play with a limited number of solid colours applied with no obvious technique. Morellet is one of the few French artists to have achieved the same status as American Minimal Art and Conceptual artists. Richard Artschwager, a sculptor whose work spans Pop Art and Minimal Art, reflects on the nature of furniture, which is sometimes liturgical and often over-sized. Photographs by William Wegman, including his images of Weimaraner dogs, along with large-format portraits by Yan Pei Ming (the former official painter of the Maoist regime who has been residing in France for the past twenty years), will also be included in the exhibition.

Among the one-man shows :

New York gallery owner Denis Cadé will present the latest works by French painter Jean-Pierre Pincemin. The works, which date from 2004 and 2005, continue the artist’s L’Arbre de la Connaissance series of small-format pieces. Jean-Pierre Pincemin characteristically took a miniature as his starting point – in this case a 14th century illumination of Guillaume de Gigueville – and a Bible story, and gleefully played with these references. The artist has also tried his hand at abstract works in very large 2x2-m formats. The works see him experiment with a complex sign language rendered with thick oils, grease and modelling clay.
Among the historical works:

The Carole Brimaud gallery, which specialises in the surrealist period, will be presenting works from its usual pool of artists, including Arp, Atlan, Maurice Estève, Hans Hartung, André Masson, Henri Michaux, Miró, Geer Van Velde and Gérard Schneider.

Gérard Lasés will be focusing on artists from the Cobra movement, founded in 1948. Works by the movement’s founders, such as the Danish artist Asger Jorn, and Dutch artists Karel Appel, Constant and Corneille will be among those on display. These artists, characterised by their wilfully non-conformist stance, were influenced by surrealism, and their work contrasts with the dogmatic movements of the post-war period, such as abstract art and socialist realism.

The Zannettacci gallery – one example of how galleries are bridging the past and the present
These galleries have chosen to combine modern creations with more contemporary works.

Geneva gallery owner Sonia Zannettacci will be hosting a group exhibition under the theme Folies de femmes, dedicated to women who have inspired artists such as Arman, Erró, Peter Klasen, Jacques Monory, Bernard Rancillac, Antonio Segui and Jacques de la Villeglé, with works from the Seventies to the present day.

Among the new works at Art Paris:
The very latest works by artists will be unveiled at the fair.

Clermont-Ferrand gallery owner Claire Gastaud will be promoting the works of two artists who work in situ and preserve the memory of their work through photography: Georges Rousse and Nils-Udo. Georges Rousse will be featured in a mini-retrospective of his work from 1984 to the present day. An enthusiast of the trompe-l’oeil, Rousse’s photographic technique was influenced by the Land Art movement, while his use of paint in photography was inspired by Malevitch’s Black Square on White Background. His work explores the simultaneous use of photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and architecture. Also a member of the Land Art movement, Nils-Udo goes beyond photography in his desire to preserve the trace of his work with nature. He “draws with flowers, paints with clouds, writes with water.” In 2002 and 2003 he worked in the Canary Islands. The gallery will be showing a selection of works covering his favourite themes, such as volcanoes, water, earth and fire. Displayed alongside these two photographers, British artist Hilary Dymond will present his images of Alpine mountains observed at different times of the day.
