Galleries in Residence
Following the success of the first chapter of the transatlantic collaboration, Galleries in Residence, with the exhibition Demisch Danant: 5, quai Malaquais, it is time for Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval to head to its counterpart’s gallery in New York, from November 8th to December 9th 2023, at 30W 12th Street.
Founded and led by three generations of women with innovative approaches, Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval, now under the direction of Anne-Sophie’s daughter Julie Blum, offers to the American public an immersion into the aura of one of the main Parisian sites of modern design and Art Deco.
This exhibition showcases several iconic furniture pieces from the Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval collection, including a pair of curved-back and straight-legged chairs inspired by the Louis XV style, designed by Jean-Michel Frank – a prominent designer and decorator in the Modern movement. The selection also features a tubular metal fireside chair created by Adrienne Gorska, who collaborated with Robert Mallet Stevens in furnishing her sister Tamara de Lempicka's studio in 1930. Gorska's piece reflects her modern sensibilities and offers a glimpse into the architect's vision. Surrounding the furniture, Etienne Cournault's paintings contribute to this exquisite ensemble. Cournault, an unconventional and understated artist, developed his artistic practice through ongoing material experimentation and exploration.
Introducing the universe of Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval in the heart of Demisch Danant is also an opportunity for Julie Blum to present the works of Bulgarian-born artist Vassil Ivanoff. The vases, sculptures, bowls and other creations from the 1950s displayed in the exhibition highlight Vassil Ivanoff’s powerful and sensual creativity.
