As part of the course
Paris Surrealist, organized by
the Professional Committee of Art Galleries
and the Pompidou Center
around the exhibition “Surrealism”
from September 4, 2024 to January 13, 2025.
More than 60 works at the SURREEL spring. The exhibition is spread across three historic addresses - 2 rue des Beaux-Arts, where the legendary surrealist bookstore Le Minotaure opened in 1948; 23 rue de Seine, and 19 rue Mazarine - to offer a stroll through three thematic stations: Simple Forms | Metamorphoses | Dreams and Nightmares. An invitation to walk through these streets of the surrealists' Saint-Germain and, like them, to take in "the wind of the possible".
The exhibition is accompanied by a rich catalogue of Guitemie Maldonado's texts and archival documents.
For the first time since the establishment of their alliance, the galleries Le Minotaure, Kaléidoscope, and Alain Le Gaillard are designing a joint exhibition to explore a new theme : Three Little Surrealist Stories. They are teaming up with the Jacques and Thessa Herold Collection and offer us a surprising journey back in time, from the present day to 1924, made up of unexpected connections: from Yayoi Kusama's psychedelic shoes to Jean Arp's biomorphic compositions; from Antonio Recalcati's portrait of Apollinaire, in the style of De Chirico, to Kandinsky's enigmatic lands; from Louise Bourgeois' painful arrangements to Ervand Kotchar's fruity eroticism.
Established in 2019, the Kaléidoscope Gallery champions artists who left their mark on the second half of the 20th century and supports contemporary creators by creating spaces for juxtaposition and dialogue between generations.
We particularly focus on painters who were active in the Parisian art scene during the 1960s and 1970s, many of whom came from all corners of the world to form a true figurative avant-garde.
Through close collaborations with estates, museums, and art historians, we aim to shed light on this remarkable flourishing of figurative painting in Paris, commonly referred to as "Nouvelle figuration" (New Figuration).
