    WHAT IS (RE)COLLECTIONS? 

    (RE)COLLECTIONS is a play on words with "recollections" meaning memories in English. It all started in 2018 is a cycle of exhibitions that we set up following the growing demand of our clients wishing to part with works in order to acquire new ones. During these exhibitions, we offered for sale a selection of original works and editions from private collections. And this has become a permanent service.

     

    Today, we gather works throughout the year that we select with the greatest care and we thus strengthen our links with our collectors. Indeed, collecting is a strong act with a biographical and intimate scope. Each work of art carries memories and emotions and tells the story of the person who owns it. A different relationship is woven over time with each work of art in a collection and the desire continues to grow. Parting with a work is also a way of continuing to write its history.

     

    We are also happy to offer for sale old pieces by artists we admire and are fortunate to regularly cross paths with historic works and to be part of extraordinary collections.

     Once or twice a year, we bring together a selection of remarkable works to show them to the public in a major exhibition in the 4 rooms of our space in Oberkampf, Paris. It's a not-to-be-missed highlight of the calendar!
