Compagnons de Route
Beginning on May 22, the Centre Pompidou will pay tribute to several major modern and contemporary art dealers in France from 1905 to the end of the 1960s. In dialogue with this exhibition, in which one room is devoted to Jeanne Bucher, founder of the gallery, the gallery presents its latest exhibition, 鈥淐ompagnons de Route鈥�, so dear to Jean-Fran莽ois Jaeger. Jaeger took over the gallery in 1947 following Jeanne Bucher鈥檚 death in 1946, and tirelessly supported his 鈥淐ompanions鈥� for over 60 years.
In the Spring of 2000, Jean-Fran莽ois Jaeger paid tribute to these artists with an exhibition entitled Dialogue avec des Compagnons de Route, that gathered works by Giacometti, Dubuffet, Tobey, Vieira da Silva, Rebeyrolle, di Suvero, Sta毛l, Jorn, and 叠颈蝉蝉颈猫谤别.
Almost 20 years later, in dialogue with the room dedicated to Jeanne Bucher at the Centre Pompidou, in which works bought by the Centre from the gallery are on display, V茅ronique Jaeger, general manager, and her brother Emmanuel Jaeger, gallery manager, chose to organize an exhibition for their father Jean-Fran莽ois Jaeger, in the very place that fueled his passion, so as to give him alively, vivid voice, intimately connected to the artists he knew, supported, and above all, loved. Compagnons de Route does not aim at showing works from all the artists he promoted and championed throughout his career, but, in a kind of prolongation of the Centre Pompidou room, focuses on artists whose works have been purchased by the Centre Pompidou from the gallery through the 1960s. The works exhibited will echo those exhibited at the Centre Pompidou.
