Antoine de Margerie : années de lumière
19 September – 22 October 2013
After our first exhibition in 2010 devoted to the rigorous geometric and flat works of Antoine de Margerie, “années de lumière” rediscovers a period in which the artist asserts great freedom, coupled with an equally great attention to the play of shapes and color.
As Anne Tronche writes in the beautiful monograph she devoted to him:
The end of the 80s opens a new period for Antoine de Margerie, perfectly illustrating the distrust he felt towards any pictorial elaboration based on a rigid program… What interests the painter is this determination which, instead of making form the skeleton of color, makes it the place of an agitation perceived as a release of energy… The spatial structures remain, planes are superimposed on each other and induce a depth that implies distance, succession, limit…
It is a state of light, a questioning of the nature of pictorial space, a speculation on the way in which forms are made and unmade that is developed from canvas to canvas.

Klaus Staudt: jubilé
25 April – 28 May 2013
From 1963, Klaus Staudt was part of the international Nouvelle Tendance movement, exhibiting notably at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in 1964. Currently present in the major Dynamo exhibition at the Grand Palais, this recently octogenarian artist is one of the great representatives of constructed art whose monochrome works create shadow-light spaces in perpetual movement.

Guy de Lussigny: inédit (or – argent – acrylique)
21 March – 23 April 2013
From 1968 to 1973, Guy de Lussigny paid tribute to the Sienese and Tuscan artists he frequented assiduously during his travels in Italy. While remaining a constructed abstract painter, he introduced the technique of gold or silver leaf in his works on wood in particular. Beyond the technical prowess of execution, it is towards color and light that he heads, thus reaching the shore of his Masters.

carte blanche à Jacques Bouzerand
14 February – 19 March 2013
Karin and Berthold Müller offered me a “Carte blanche” in their gimpel & müller Gallery, in Saint-Germain-des-Près. Journalist, writer, critic and art historian, I had never had the pleasure of designing an exhibition, moreover in such a prestigious place. For this gallery dedicated to “post-war abstractions”, I chose creators close to these formal criteria. No figuration therefore, nor lyrical allusion. But a great freedom. And a high level of quality. Right away, I thought of the “Incisions” by Jean Redoulès; the paintings of André Nouyrit, Alain-Jacques Lévrier-Mussat; the “Traits” by Denise Samson-Dissès.

Fanal: regard sur 35 ans d’éditions
6 December 2012 – 8 January 2013
Since their creation in 1978, fanal editions have put their internationally recognized know-how at the service of constructed/concrete art – a rigorous expression constantly renewed that makes the search for pure and universal forms its credo.
Located in a former paper mill in Basel, fanal has allowed many artists – 77 to date – to work in close collaboration with screen printers or engravers in a calm and warm atmosphere and thus explore the possibilities offered by the medium.
You will discover a selection of selected works.
