Galerie Le Minotaure
"L'esprit moderne. Carte blanche à la Galerie Ulrich Fiedler"
"Modern interior. Visualization of the exhibition space at 23 Rue de Seine."
The exhibition, which will take place in both of our spaces, will bring together a collection of modernist furniture and decorative art objects related to the Bauhaus style and the De Stijl movement chosen by the Ulrich Fiedler Gallery in Berlin, which will interact with avant-garde paintings, sculptures, and photographs selected by our gallery (constructivism, purism, geometric abstraction, De Stijl).
Among the prominent artists we include are: Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Fernand Léger, Wassily Kandinsky, Jean Arp, Willy Baumeister, Felix Del Marle, Walter Dexel, Rudolpg Jahns, Frantisek Kupka, Léon Tutudjian, Carl Buchheister (for fine arts), Erwin Blumenfeld, Germaine Krull (photography), Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perrinad, Pierre Jeanneret, Marcel Breuer, Marianne Brandt (furniture, decorative arts)…”
For 40 years, the galerie ulrich fiedler (Berlin) has been showing important historic masterpieces from the first half of the 20th century, which were milestones in history of design and are icons for the movement we call today modern.
In the exhibition at Le Minotaure in Paris, important furniture and objects from the Bauhaus masters, furniture by Charlotte Perriand and Gerrit Thomas Rietveld are combined with work by Jean Arp, Walter Dexel, Wassily Kandinsky, Frantisek Kupka, Fernand Léger et Laszlo Moholy-Nagy from the collection of Le Minotaure gallery.
All of these works, which arose from the revolutionary impetus of this period, form an ensemble of original design objects and works of art created during the same time and complement each other perfectly.
From May 3rd to July 6th, 2024
The gallery
"The Le Minotaure gallery was founded in 2002 by Benoit Sapiro, an expert within the National Company of Experts, vice-president of the Professional Committee of Art Galleries, and president of the Photo Saint Germain Festival. It is located at the former site of the famous surrealist bookstore bearing the same name. In February 2023, a second space was inaugurated at 23 Rue des Seine.
The gallery, along with its director, specializes in artists from the School of Paris and avant-garde art from Central and Eastern Europe, from the 1910s to the 1960s. Moreover, the importance of its collections enables it to regularly collaborate on reference exhibitions with major museums such as the Russian State Museums, the Pushkin Museum..."
