In Praise of Shadows

Maria Wettergren opened her gallery in 2010 in Paris Saint Germain and specializes in contemporary Scandinavian design and art. The gallery equally represents unique and limited edition works by Japanese designers, as well as kinetic photographs by modernist artists. In 2013, Maria Wettergren was included in the magazine Art + Auction’s annual Power 100 issue of the 100 most important people from the art world, and in 2014 she received the Finn Juhl Architecture Prize. Maria Wettergren believes in the interdisciplinary dialogue between art, design, crafts and architecture. Today, radical exchanges are taking place with minds and materials pooling into multi-faceted collaborations where high-technological innovations meet craftsmanship and art. Maria Wettergren represents contemporary Scandinavian designers in the center of this phenomenon, whose poetic and pioneering works are part of important private and/or public museum collections such as the MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The gallery is permanently participating in the international art and design fairs such as the Design Miami/Basel, PAD Paris/London, Art Salon/New York and FIAC (hors les murs).
