The Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Alberto Magnelli, unanimously regarded as one of the leading artists and masters of 20th-century painting.
The exhibition features an exceptional painting from 1914, part of a series particularly cherished by Guillaume Apollinaire, which had a significant influence on the aesthetics of American painters in the 1960s and certain artists of narrative figuration.
The other paintings belong to the abstract periods of the 1930s, 1950s, and 1960s. In the 1930s, Magnelli developed a repertoire of abstract forms that went on to influence the geometric abstraction movement of the 1950s.

The gallery
Patrice Trigano has been a gallerist since 1973. His gallery, born from a deep passion for art—as reflected in the title of one of his books, Une Vie pour l’Art—is the culmination of a lifelong dedication to the field. A founding member of the FIAC Organizing Committee, he also co-founded the Galerie Beaubourg, which he co-directed until 1978, before opening his own gallery at 4 bis Rue des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1983.
Steering clear of passing trends, the gallery showcases various historical movements in modern and contemporary art, including Surrealism, lyrical and geometric abstraction, Pop Art, New Realism, and Lettrism.
Over the years, the gallery has hosted exhibitions dedicated to 20th-century masters such as Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Henri Michaux, Pablo Picasso, Francis Picabia, Victor Brauner, André Masson, Alberto Giacometti, Hans Hartung, Alberto Magnelli, André Derain, and Zao Wou-Ki. It has also championed internationally renowned artists like Chu Teh-Chun, Arman, Clavé, Lucien Clergue, Allen Jones, Jean Dewasne, Gérard Schneider, Jean Hélion, Jacques Hérold, Georges Mathieu, Mel Ramos, Manolo Valdés, César, and Hiquily.
The gallery has organized more than 300 exhibitions, both at its own venue and at major art fairs such as FIAC, Art Paris, the Abu Dhabi Art Fair, Art Miami, Art Basel, TEFAF, Brafa, ARCO Madrid, and Arte Fiera Bologna.
