We are pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition titled “Reinventing Traditions: The other side of French postmodern design,” showcasing a juxtaposition of designs by Alain Gaubert, Jean Jacques Erny, Alain Marcoz, Hervé Baley, Jean Touret and the artisans of Marolles, Sylvain Contini, Jacques Avoinet, Anne Barres, Ilina Horning and Denise Bigot.
Including around 50 pieces created between the end of the 1950’s and throughout the 1970’s, this exhibition aims to highlight a branch of postmodern designers in France whose works, though emanating from the rejection of the dictates of modernism, are very much anchored in tradition and craftsmanship.

About
Magen H Gallery
Since 1997, Magen H Gallery has pioneered revolutionary and significant design in sculpture, decorative arts, architecture, and ceramics. With special emphasis given to French post-war designers, the collection progresses the artistic dialogue between these historically significant works and contemporaries who visually articulate a personal philosophy. These pieces reveal the compelling tension between the organic spirit of the material and the artists' mastery over the medium. From its inception, the collection of works has been built on the founding premise that art and design are allied and interdependent. Exhibiting works in craft mediums (clay, metal, wood, silicon and aluminum), the gallery seeks objects that transcend form and function. By synthesizing modern and mid-century designers, Magen H Gallery continues to redefine the decorative arts market with innovative and significant design.
