Exhibitions

Happy holidays, the gallery closes its doors to the public. We see you again in January 2022.

We are participating in this rich exhibition, divided into major sectors - Pioneers of Modern Art, Social Realism, Abstraction (s), New Figurations and Photography - the scenography offers a journey through the history of art by recontextualizing the works presented in the artistic movements of the twentieth century until today.

To echo the gallery’s current exhibition, we are presenting this year at our booth a major work by Jean Dewasne (1921–1999) titled Incantation lyrique (121 x 180 cm), from 1969. Dewasne is the artist with whom Anne and Jean-Claude Lahumière worked from the very beginning, when they founded the publishing house Les Editions Lahumière. They facilitated the integration of a monumental work by the artist into the design of the Hauptbahnhof subway station in Hanover, Germany, where the mural painting can still be seen today, in perfect condition.

A major figure of geometric and constructivist abstraction, Jean Dewasne was the first recipient of the Prix Kandinsky with Jean Deyrolle in 1946, the year the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles was created. He joined the Salon’s board at the request of Auguste Herbin, whose presence at his side would be decisive.

They talk about them, Marcelle Cahn, Aurelie Nemours, these artists that we defend and show there works.

By 1930, Paris had become the European hub of various nonfigurative trends, including abstract art, and the center of international avant-garde. Active in most of these, Abstraction-Création was established in 1931 by Auguste Herbin, Jean Hélion et Georges Vantongerloo,. It quickly became a meeting point for artists of different nationalities, covering more than 20 nations, whose activity had a key role in the progressive movements.

What a joy it will be to finally see you again at Art Basel, an event we have attended without fail for fifty years! We thank you for your loyalty, and hope that despite the difficulties of recent times the pleasure of meeting up and talking about art will once again be a happy moment to be shared.

This year we present works by Auguste Herbin (1882–1960), Victor Vasarely (1906–1997), Jean Dewasne (1921–1999), and, for our contemporary section, a group of works by Jean-François Dubreuil and Hans-Jörg Glattfelder, among others.

We offer you the opportunity to discover the second installment of our trilogy of exhibitions titled "Converging Geometries," which features six other contemporary artists from our gallery. The works selected were produced at different periods in the artists’ careers. The works interact, connect with each other, and, in their own ways, play with aspects of geometry and color.

At last! We will be very pleased to see you again at Art Paris, which is being held for the first time at the Grand Palais Éphémère on the Champs de Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

This year we will be placing the focus on our contemporary artists, including Jean-François Dubreuil, Nicholas Bodde, Henri Prosi, and Antoine Perrot, based around one of the gallery’s leading artists: Jean Dewasne (1921–1999).

The gallery closes its doors to the public for the summer, go and visit the exhibitions which are visible on our website.

For the first time in Germany an exhibition about concrete women with a selection of 12 artists bevor and after 1945 who established their influence, as well as the role of gallerist women who engaged themselves for this concrete tendency. We participate in this exhibition

A breef visit to Germany where cultural places also re-open

Denis Pondruel is participating to the exhibition “Sculpture festival” 10th anniversary of the Villa Datris in l’Isle sur la Sorgue, place essentially dedicated to the sculpture, go and see it !

The Museum Tessé in Le Mans, offers us the opportunity to discover : Marie Raymond and her friends.

Marie Raymond (1908-1988), artist women of the 50’s, art critic but also mother of Yves Klein. An extraordinary personality to discover at the Museum Tessé.

What strikes us first is that Félix Del Marle (1889–1952), Georges Folmer (1895–1977), and Jean Gorin (1899–1981) all started out as figurative painters. Curiously, some artists return to representational subjects after a period of abstraction, as did Malevich, Hélion, and Herbin. In this way, Del Marle went back to representational painting between 1930 and 1940, while Folmer continued in this vein until 1943, reverting back to it from time to time until 1960. Gorin abandoned it altogether in 1926.

The gallery closes its doors to the public. We will open by January 5th, the exhibition ‘converging geometries’ will be extended to January 23rd

In this series of three exhibitions we invite you to discover, or rediscover, the gallery’s contemporary artists. They present the work of sixteen of the artists we represent, who honor us with their friendship and their loyalty, the majority for more than thirty years. With conviction and talent, these artists defend a movement that has become the DNA of the gallery: "geometric abstraction." These exhibitions highlight the richness of geometric abstraction—its coherence, its diversity, and its pertinence. With these three group shows, we thought it would be interesting to offer an overview of the artists’ work from different periods and to observe the ways in which the trajectories and the viewpoints of these artists converge and interact with one another. There are fortuitous mysteries and alchemies to be found in abstraction, geometry, and color. Our artists give us some pointers in this direction and open up other avenues, to our great delight.
