Raphaëlla and Alessandro Pron are delighted to announce the opening of Pron, a new gallery at 75 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement. The new two-storey, 180 m2 exhibition space will showcase a selection of contemporary and modern works: paintings, sculptures, antiques, collectible furniture and objets d’art with a distinctive material identity.
From Thursday, April 3, 2025, Galerie Pron will unveil an inaugural exhibition featuring works by the following artists: Alice Gavalet, Alighiero Boetti, Bernard Rooke, Carlo Scarpa, Diego Giacometti, Ernesto Basile, Ettore Sottsass, Fausto Melotti, Gommaar Gilliams, Jane Yang-D’Haene, Kodai Ujiie, Lucio Fontana, Maurizio Donzelli, Niyaz Najafov, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Pietro Ruffo, Roberto Matta, Rémy Pommeret, Roger Herman, Ujiie Kodai, and Vittorio Zecchin.
On this occasion, Galerie Pron will unveil a unique series of glass sculptures created by Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Max Ernst by the illustrious master glassmaker Egidio Costantini, protégé of patron Peggy Guggenheim, in Venice.
Three exhibition rooms are brimming with settings between figuration and dense materiality, such as Lucio Fontana and Fausto Melotti with contemporary works by Korean/American artist Jane Yang-D’Haene, or two new paintings by Pietro Ruffo, following the artist’s recent participation in the Venice Biennale and his solo show at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. A pair of rare 1906 Art Nouveau armchairs by Sicilian architect Ernesto Basile, which can also be found in the permanent collection of the Musée d’Orsay, appear alongside glazed earthenware ceramics by cult Californian artist Roger Herman, a dialogue of tone and texture that echoes the floral oil landscapes of Azerbaijani painter Niyaz Najafov.
Other encounters beyond fine art, furniture and decorative objects include Diego Giacometti’s La Table Grecque (1965) and sculptural lamps by British studio potter Bernard Rooke, as well as the first-ever exhibition of “kaanyu” ceramics by Japanese sculptor Kodai Ujiie. A final show exudes optimism in geometric forms, with Alice Gavalet’s linear ceramics and Alighiero Boetti’s kaleidoscope-effect canvas embroidery Entre chien et Loup (1988), which find chromatic harmony among mixed-media canvases by Belgian painter Gommaar Gilliams and delicate modernist glassworks by the master glassmaker from Murano Vittorio Zecchin.
