To celebrate the centenary of Surrealism, the Galerie Berthet-Aittouarès is offering an immersion into the collection of Georges Goldfayn (1933-2019), André Breton’s friend and assistant. This exhibition by Michèle and Odile Aittouarès bears witness to the way Georges Goldfayn turned his life into his work, as well as paying tribute to a friend.
Pierre Loeb's former gallery, now the Galerie Berthet-Aittouarès, will be the setting for the collection of a lifetime, bringing together a selection of fifty works of Oceanic art, Art Brut and Surrealist art: Wolfgang Paalen, Simon Hantaï, Konrad Klapheck, Jindrich Styrsky, Jindrich Heisler, Aloys Zötl, Toyen is particularly well represented with paintings, drawings, and an exceptional box-object made by Jindrich Heisler for Toyen...
