About
Founded in 1925 by Jeanne Bucher on rue du Cherche-Midi, the gallery is set in an avant-garde atmosphere and exhibits the main creators of modern art: Arp, Braque, Campigli, De Chirico, Ernst, Giacometti, Gris, Kandinsky, Klee, Lapicque, Laurens, Léger, Lipchitz, Masson, Miro, Mondrian, Picabia, Picasso, Tanguy and Torres-Garcia.
In 1947, Jean-François Jaeger took the direction of the gallery and moved it in the 60s to its actual historical address rue de Seine where he worked with artists of the 50s and 60s such as Bissière, Dubuffet, Jorn, Nevelson, Reichel, Staël, Tobey, Vieira da Silva. A few memorable exhibitions of primitive art were also realized in the 1960s.
Today, the direction of the gallery is ensured by Véronique Jaeger.
In October 2008, the opening of a new space in the Marais district redesigned by the famous French architect Dominique Perrault, assimilates the two identities of its history.
The inaugural exhibition EXPANSION-RESONANCE gathers around the questions of space and time, in a dialogue with some of the tutelary artists of Jeanne Bucher's gallery like Maya, Sepik, Olmec and Dogoon sculptures, as well as pieces by Giacometti, Kandinsky, Klee, Léger, Masson, Miro, Ernst, Tobey, Bissière, Staël, Vieira da Silva, Szenes et Dubuffet, through one selected work by each artist, the work of nine international artists, who will be exhibited in 2009 and 2010 at the gallery: Michael Biberstein, Zarina Hashmi, Rui Moreira, Hanns Schimansky, Susumu Shingu, Pat Steir, Fabienne Verdier, Paul Wallach, Yang Jiechang.
