Jeunes marchands, l'heure de la relève
De Armelle Malvoisin | 25-03-2025
Focus sur une jeune génération de marchands venus apporter du sang neuf à un salon qui, bien qu'établi depuis 33 ans, ne cesse de se réoxygéner. À 30 et 32 ans, Alexandre et Pierre Lorquin ont repris début 2021, à la suite de leur père Olivier Lorquin, l'enseigne familiale que leur grand-mère, Dina Vierny - muse d'Aristide Maillol -, avait ouverte en 1947 sur les conseils de Matisse et de ...

Pierre et Alexandre Lorquin « Nous avons hérité d'une âme »
De Carole Blumenfeld | 23-08-2024
The fall promises to be a busy season for Dina Vierny's grandsons. Already at the helm of the gallery at 36 Rue Jacob and the Pal Project gallery on Rue de Grenelle, they are opening a new venue and will be exhibiting for the first time under the glass roof of the Grand Palais at Art Basel Paris. The click of new keys is soon followed by the dazzling light from ...

Art Basel Paris, la foire d'art contemporain revient au Grand Palais et des œuvres envahissent la capitale
De Christophe Airaud | 17-10-2024
October in Paris is contemporary art season, a tradition. Galleries from around the world arrive with their collections of more or less innovative works, all for sale. This summer, the restored Grand Palais was one of the most admired and notable venues during the Olympic Games. The contemporary art fair, Art Basel Paris—formerly known as Fiac—will take place there from October 18 to 20. It marks a return to the heart ...

BRAFA, a fair that makes a good impression
De Alexandre Crochet | 16-02-2023
Despite notable absences, the Belgian art and antiques fair managed to preserve diversity and quality, with many sales falling within the mid-market range. Despite some hesitation for significant purchases in this uncertain early part of the year, a trend also observed at artgenève for contemporary art, BRAFA once again managed to stand out. It recorded numerous transactions in its main niche: the mid-market. "After coming last year with too large pieces, ...

The BRAFA regains its momentum
De | 07-02-2023
Modern and contemporary art in the spotlight. For its second participation, the Parisian gallery Dina Vierny sold, in a range from 5,000 to 300,000 euros, one-third of its booth, including an Ève à la pomme by Aristide Maillol (cast during the artist's lifetime and previously owned by Raoul Dufy), a monumental bronze from 1996 by Robert Couturier, two works by Michel Haas, whose gallery aims to reintroduce his work, and ...

Great edition, high attendance
De Marie Potard | 15-02-2023
The fair is beautiful, but it lacks a bit of museum-worthy artworks. The Tefaf Maastricht is in a month, so dealers have kept their finest pieces, noted a market expert. Nevertheless, exhibitors were all satisfied with the level of transactions, which generally stayed below 400,000 euros, even though most of the significant pieces, as there were a few after all, remained unsold. Notably in 20th-century art, at Bailly Gallery, there ...

In the cave of the painter Michel Haas
De Sabrina Testa |
One of those improbable and magical places that often hide behind the facades of buildings in Marseille. In 2018, the artist Michel Haas and his partner Narimane Mari, a filmmaker, took up residence in the 300 m³ space on the ground floor and first floor of a building on Châteauredon Street in Noailles, after leaving Paris. "We bought this place together, and Michel continued his work here until his death ...

Gazette Drouot take over by Pierre & Alexandre Lorquin
De Céline Piettre | 04-02-2021
"Their reserve barely conceals a keen ambition for prestigious institutions. At 25 and 27 years old, the grandsons of the post-war art dealer, muse of Maillol, are taking over the direction of the oldest gallery in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. What memories do you have of your grandmother, Dina Vierny? Alexandre Lorquin: We were very close. Our grandmother wanted to share her passion for objects with us. She gave me a small anthropomorphic dog from ...

Démarrage euphorique pour Art Basel Paris
De Roxana Azimi et Harry Bellet | 17-10-2024 |
REPORT | The art fair, held until Sunday in the renovated Grand Palais, attracts collectors from around the world. "Our grandmothers used to say, ‘Better to inspire envy than pity,’ and as everyone knows, they were always right." After years of typically French masochism, Paris is regaining its place on the international art scene thanks to a combination of factors: favorable tax policies that now make France the gateway for imports ...
