Fifty Years of Modernity

To mark this anniversary, the gallery is organizing its first retrospective exhibition, featuring a selection of objects that trace the gallery’s activity from its beginnings to the present day. Prestigious furniture, ceramics and rare pieces will be presented in a setting that pays tribute to the stand designed by Karl Lagerfeld in 1972 for the first Biennale des Antiquaires.

An exceptional set of unpublished lacquer panels signed by Armand-Albert Rateau reproducing the decor of the Duchess of Alba’s bathroom will be the highlight of this event, recalling the Rateau retrospective in 1992. Exhibited in 1925 at the Seligmann Gallery, these gold-decorated panels will be unveiled during this exhibition.

Alongside the brilliant designer and friend of Jeanne Lanvin, other famous decorators of the 1930s will be present, such as Jean-Michel Frank (Cole Porter armchair, folding screen, coffee tables, etc.), Pierre Chareau (bedside table, folding screen) and Jean Dunand (collector’s furniture).

About

Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval

Located at 5 Quai Malaquais in the heart of Paris, on the site of the mythical Honoré Champion bookshop, in an 18th century mansion, the Anne-Sophie Duval gallery, which specialises in Art Deco and the decorative arts of the 20th century, has been an institution for collectors and decorators for the past fifty years. Passionate and erudite, Anne-Sophie Duval was one of the first to rediscover the great names of Art Deco: Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, Jean Dunand, Armand-Albert Rateau, Eileen Gray, Paul Dupré-Lafon, and André Groult. It is thanks to the profound originality of her vision and her selection, both demanding and modern, that the gallery acquired an international reputation
