My
journey into the art market started in a somewhat unusual way.
I was
living in Paris studying History of Art in the Sorbonne when my father asked me
to help him with a small errand. He asked me if I could go to bid on his behalf
in the famous Parisian auction house Hotel Drouot.
I
reluctantly agreed and immediately fell in-love with the business.
For the
next two years, I worked from Paris and started to learn how this business
works spending many hours in the established and wonderful Parisian print galleries
in Rue de Seine.
Each
gallery was a trophy trove of wonderful art works spanning the whole Modern era
and I was able to see, feel and touch these works.
An
opportunity aroused and I moved just across the English chancel to the European
capital of art – London.
Here, the
art scene was very different. No long small cramped old galleries with
treasures but Modern stylish spaces showing the best of the best.
After a
few years here, one day I stumbled upon a beautiful neighborhood that I didn’t
knew – Hampstead. At first it didn’t feel like London at all but rather a
charming English village in the country side.
I felt
that this is the right place to open our gallery. It will be warm and friendly
but will present the best works by the best artist.
We have
been in 87 Heath street for seven exciting and rewarding years building a
wonderful group of friends that I hope feel at home in our gallery as much as
we do.
But now it’s
time to open a new chapter.
I’m
delighted to announce the opening of our new gallery.
I’m even
happier to let you know that we are not goinf too far away! In fact we will be
just across the road in 74 Heath street, Hampstead.
Our new
space will have more than double the exhibition space and will enable us to
develop our exhibitions even further.
