Quinte-Essence
air – water – earth – fire – ether,
from Primitive Arts to today

All the current discussions surrounding the environment have prompted us, as the gallery celebrates its 90th year of activity this Fall, to express our strong commitment to the values of environmentalism and sustainable development, through the work of our artists, whose source of inspiration is fundamentally linked to the natural elements. Conceived around the five elements “Air-Water-Earth-Fire-Ether”, the exhibition “Quinte-Essence” takes place in three parts: in the two Parisian spaces of the gallery, as well as fat the FIAC 2015. It brings together fundamentally unique works of artists of all eras and nationalities, from the Primitive Arts until today.

It is with these artists, emblematic of our concern for the future, that the gallery has chosen to celebrate its 90th year of activity so as to highlight relationships based on sustainable environmentalism and to emphasize the specific properties of our own true Nature. The exhibition is devoted to works from artists working mainly with the elements, and who enter into direct dialogue with the natural environment. This Quinte-Essence continues during the FIAC, where our booth presents a journey, through a group of works by artists that the gallery has exhibited and promoted from the beginning, from Giacometti to Fabienne Verdier. This presentation is given its direction by Giacometti’s Tête qui regarde, an emblematic terracotta sculpture exhibited by Jeanne Bucher in her gallery in 1929, and of which there exist no other examples in the world. It represent the first public presentation of a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, and displays the absolute gaze of the artist in its quintessence. This totemic work is accompanied by other emblematic works by artists who have been exhibited at the gallery from the beginning, some of which come from their first exhibition at the gallery such as Kandinsky, Masson, Klee, Torres-García, Ernst, Reichel …
