Presentation

Gallery Anne Sophie Duval is specialized in Art Deco and 20th-century Decorative Arts. After celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2022 with several exhibitions and the publication of a retrospective book, the gallery is delighted to announce an eventful new season. 

Last year, the gallery organised several projects and exhibitions, such as Galleries in Residence, with the New York based Demisch  Danant gallery crossed exhibition both in Paris and NYC in fall. Following this exchange, we presented our Byzantine bathroom by Armand-Albert Rateau and an Art Deco booth at the first edition of FAB / Fine Arts Biennale in November. To conclude 2023, we published a book, “The Timeless Glow of Lacquer,” and showcased an exhibition on lacquer pieces, mixing pieces from the 1930s with contemporary works created by the Swiss artist Salomé Lippuner, some in collaboration with the reknown designer Sylvain Dubuisson.

The Galerie Anne Sophie Duval will open at the end of September with a new scenography. From October 15th to November 14th, we will present an exhibition in collaboration with the contemporary design Gallery Ymer et Malta.
