Each year, the Collection gallery accompanies some twenty artists whose work is presented in the form of exhibitions and sales within the gallery and at international fairs (Collect in London, Tokyo Art Fair, Révélations at the Grand Palais in Paris, etc.).
From spring 2021, the pieces of 17 artists who work with ceramics, wood, metal, paper, cardboard or textile are in the spotlight. Variety of textures, play on shapes and effects of transparency and light are at the rendez-vous. Sometimes confirmed creators, sometimes young promising talents, each artist accompanied by the Collection gallery represents a facet of the richness and dynamism that animates the art workshops today. These creators, strongly linked to their favorite material, give an unusual, questioning and sometimes confusing reading of the art object through their creative and research approach.
A little history :
Created by Ateliers d’Art de France in 2006, the Collection gallery is a showcase for contemporary crafts. Ceramics, paper, cardboard, metal, wood, textile… Materials are a field of experimentation and transformation, of expression, of singular approaches. The Collection gallery also establishes exchange partnerships with galleries or institutions of reference: Barry Friedman Gallery in New York, Format Gallery in Oslo, Liuli Museum in Shanghai or Sokyo Gallery in Kyoto. It also has an exceptional collection of about a hundred pieces that Ateliers d’Art de France has been acquiring for the past twelve years. These pieces are frequently exhibited at international fairs and are destined to integrate other distribution circuits.
