WORK OF THE MONTH : ARACELY GILBERT  “Rhythm & Colors, 1953”

Araceli GILBERT (1913–1993) was a leading figure of Latin American geometric abstraction. After moving to Paris in the early 1950s, she became part of the circle around Auguste Herbin and, in 1953, held a solo exhibition at the renowned Galerie Arnaud, one of the city’s leading postwar avant-garde galleries.

Her work explores the relationship between rhythm and color, using carefully balanced geometric forms to create compositions of remarkable harmony and clarity. I am especially drawn to this sense of balance, where color and structure come together in a timeless visual harmony.

NEW SHOW: BETWEEN LINES & SKIN — ADO SATŌ (1936 – 1995)

ADO SATO (1936-1995) was a Japanese artist born in Yokohama. He came from a family deeply rooted in the arts: his father was painter Key Sato and his mother was opera singer Yoshiko Sato.

He grew up in an environment surrounded by painters, musicians, and intellectuals. After studying art at Keio University in Tokyo, he graduated in 1961.

In 1962, he moved to Paris, a city that became a defining influence on his artistic journey. His work is characterized by poetic and geometric forms, vivid colors, and a highly distinctive style blending Japanese and Western influences.

His creations were exhibited in several major cities, including Paris, London, New York and Tokyo. His works have become part of important collections in the United States and around the word.

Today, Sato remains recognized for creating an artistic dialogue between Japanese culture and modern occidental art.

ARTIST OF THE MONTH : DORA MAAR (1907-1997)

Dora Maar developed a highly personal style of painting during the 1970s, marked by a surreal and introspective atmosphere. Following her relationship with Pablo Picasso, she gradually moved away from his influence to explore a more inner and spiritual world. Her paintings from this period feature fluid forms, sliding layers of paint, and delicate dripping effects that give her landscapes an almost dreamlike quality. Light and transparency create a quiet, meditative mood, while traces of the artistic freedom inherited from Picasso can still be felt throughout her work.

VISIT OF THE MONTH : MATISSE 1941-1954 at GRAND PALAIS

17 Avenue du General Eisenhower 75008 Paris

The exhibition “Matisse 1941–1954” at the Grand Palais deeply impressed me through the extraordinary modernity of Henri Matisse’s late works.
It reveals an artist who, despite illness, completely reinvented his visual language.
The cut-outs go far beyond a simple technique and become a true exploration of space, color, and movement.
I was struck by the freedom and boldness of these monumental compositions.
The exhibition beautifully shows how Matisse transformed his studio into an almost architectural creative environment. Works such as The Snail possess a remarkable visual power and an astonishing sense of modernity.
This late period ultimately appears to be one of the most radical moments of his entire career. There is an extraordinary sense of refinement throughout the works, where every shape feels essential.
I was also fascinated by the contrast between the artist’s physical fragility and the energy of his creations.
I left the exhibition with the feeling that I had witnessed one of the defining moments in twentieth-century art history.

VISIT OF THE MONTH: The Philips Collection

MARCH 21 – JULY 5, 2026: The Phillips Collection, 1600 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC

At the end of his life, Joan Miró maintained, “It was really American painting that inspired me.” 

Co-organized with the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, Miró and the United States explores the vibrant exchanges between Catalan artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) and the burgeoning American art scene in a pivotal moment of 20th-century art. This little-known yet decisive period of connection between Miró and American artists—including Alexander Calder, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner, Norman Lewis, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, and Adolph Gottlieb—was influential in the development of post-war art on both sides of the Atlantic

VISIT OF THE MONTH: Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris – France

Robert DELAUNAY (1885 – 1941)

The paintings by Robert Delaunay held at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris illustrate the evolution of abstract painting in the 20th century. They are characterized by the use of bright, contrasting colors inspired by scientific theories of color. Delaunay sought to create a sense of movement through circular shapes and visual rhythms. His style, known as “Orphism,” stands between Cubism and pure abstraction.

In works such as Rhythm No. 1, color becomes the main subject of the painting. Geometric shapes are simplified and arranged to produce a dynamic harmony. His paintings often evoke modernity, such as the city, the Eiffel Tower, or technological progress. In the 1930s, he created monumental works intended for architecture and exhibitions. These paintings reflect a search for a total art integrated into everyday life. Finally, they demonstrate the importance of color as a universal language in abstract art.

VISIT OFTHE MONTH: Luis BARRAGAN’S CASA PEDREGAL, Mexico City

A pink volume rests on a bed of volcanic stone. A poetic synthesis of Mexican vitality and modern precision. 

“Any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake” said Barragan, a star of the 20th century architecture scene and Pritzker prize winner in 1980. Stepping onto the property, his words seem to echo, immediately tangible in the home’s pink palette, revealing the architect’s predilection for vibrant colors. Even in its grandeur, Casa Pedregal reveals itself by little by little : pastel-colored walls, slices of protruding light, and an emanating aura of peace. It’s as if the metropolitan madness beyond has ceased to exit.

Myra Albert WIGGINS – Original Print Photography & Joan MIRO lithographs  

I will present an exhibition and sale photographs by Myra Albert Wiggins, a resident of the Loveless Studio Building from 1932 until her death in 1956. 

This will be the first opportunity to acquire original photographs by Wiggins whose work is included in numerous museums in the US and Europe.

The photographs are all original vintage prints in platinum and gelatin silver and were printed by Wiggins herself.

Myra Albert Wiggins, born in 1873 in Salem, Oregon, drew her artistic vision from the forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest. Based in Portland, she became a celebrated photographer, exhibiting her work locally and nationally. Her images capture the unique light and atmosphere of her home region. Even after years of traveling for study and exhibitions, she remained deeply connected to the Northwest, and also spent many years living in Seattle.

What moves me in Myra Albert Wiggins’s work is the softness and sense of closeness that emerge from her images. As a woman from the Northwest, her gaze seems deeply rooted in a specific place and lived experience. At the turn of the twentieth century, she embraced photography, a still modern medium at the time, with a freedom that clearly situates her within the avant-garde. To me, her work remains surprisingly modern.

VISIT OF THE MONTH: TAMAYO MUSEUM – MEXICO CITY

Visiting the Museo Tamayo was a truly fascinating experience. The modern architecture, with its geometric shapes and the way light plays across the concrete and marble, highlights each work beautifully. The pieces on display, from contemporary Mexican artists to major international figures, are of exceptional quality. What I loved most was the dialogue between the space and the art. A place where architecture and art respond to each other with elegance.

The Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City is one of the country’s leading institutions for modern and contemporary art. Founded in 1981 by the Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo and his wife Olga, it was created to share a major international collection with the public and inspire dialogue across artistic movements.

VISIT OF THE MONTH : MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, VANCOUVER – BC Canada 

JAAD KUUJUS SHOW : “EVERYONE SAYS I LOOK LIKE MY MOTHER” Dates – December 4, 2025 / March 29, 2026

Tracing the ancient threads of Northwest Coast weaving and spinning practices through the technologies of today, Jaad Kuujus’s art moves between generations, time, place, and mediums. Beyond the creation of replicas, her interconnected digital and material practice gives rise to descendant works — woven embodiments of kinship with the belongings, materials, and ancestors that inspire them.

As I moved through Jaad Kuujus’s exhibition at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, I was struck by the quiet beauty of the gestures and materials. The works seem to exist outside of time, carried by memory and acts of transmission. Nothing is spectacular, yet everything feels deeply human. Each form speaks to continuity, linking past and present. It is an exhibition that evokes a gentle, silent sense of eternity.

VISIT OF THE MONTH : SEATTLE ART MUSEUM

FARM TO TABLE: ART, FOOD AND IDENTITY IN THE AGE OF IMPRESSIONISM

The Farm to Table exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum explores how Impressionist artists used food to reflect the major social changes happening in 19th-century France. Featuring scenes of farms, markets, and shared meals, artists like Monet, Pissarro, and Gauguin capture both the beauty of everyday life and the growing tension between rural traditions and modern life. The exhibition highlights how food served as a symbol of identity, culture, and even social inequality. It offers a fresh look at Impressionism by tying it to the universal theme of the table.

WORK OF THE MONTH : Herve LASSÏNCE

Paris-based artist Hervé LASSÏNCE (b. 1973) explores love, identity, and human connection in a new exhibition (Thursday, November 6, 2025 ) at Galerie Orsay Seattle, bridging two vibrant art scenes from Paris to Seattle

Bringing together a selection of intimate portraits, the show reflects Lassïnce’s singular approach to capturing the beauty, vulnerability, and authenticity of human connection. His work largely consists of spontaneous portraits (of family, friends, lovers, and partners) taken in everyday life across France and around the world, from Benin and Tunisia to Mexico, India, and the United States.

I am particularly proud to present in my Seattle gallery the works of Hervé Lassïnce a photographer whose art captures the very essence of love. Through his lens, intimacy becomes universal. Each image revealing tenderness, desire, and the deep beauty of human connection. His photographs invite us to see love not as a concept, but as a living emotion that unites us all.

VISIT OF THE MONTH : MINIMAL

Bourse de Commerce – Paris – Pinault Collection

The exhibition ” Minimal”  explores the global and international evolution of this movement, which since the early 1960s has radically redefined the status of the artwork.

Characterized by an economy of means, a refined aesthetic, and a reconsideration of the artwork’s relationship to the viewer, an entire generation of artists around the world initiated this approach that invites physical interaction. Thus emerged Minimalist! An art form that sought to engage directly with the viewer through the presentation of universal materials and forms, without resorting to imitation, symbolism, or narrative.

The Minimal exhibition at the Pinault Collection deeply impressed me with the clarity and strength of its presentation. Each work was given room to breathe, allowing the viewer to focus on the essentials. The relationship between form, material, and the body of the spectator. I was particularly struck by how the exhibition revealed the almost spiritual dimension of this aesthetics of simplicity, where emptiness, light, and silence themselves become elements of expression.

WORK OF THE MONTH :  Sonia DELAUNAY (1885-1979)

SIMULTANEOUS WORKSHOP 

Sonia Delaunay was a pioneering abstract artist and a central figure of the Parisian avant-garde. The wife of painter Robert Delaunay, she carried out pictorial research with him, exploring light, the movement of colors, and their “simultaneous contrasts.” For Sonia, these explorations—driven primarily by instinct—were expressed not only in pure painting but also in applied arts, decoration, and fashion, which she saw as equally part of the same artistic quest.

“In 1923, I was approached by a company in Lyon (France) interested in fabric designs. I created patterns with pure geometric forms, rhythmic in composition and color relationships. For me, they were—and remain—color scales, in fact the foundation of the essential concept of our painting, both Robert’s and mine.”

Simultaneous art sought to give visual form to the rhythm of modern life, marked by speed, light, and movement. Her work profoundly influenced twentieth-century design. Today, Sonia Delaunay is celebrated as the creator of a vibrant, universal visual language.

VISIT OF THE MONTH :  David HOCKNEY  (b. 1937)

Retrospective – Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris (France)

Born in 1937, David Hockney is one of the most celebrated British artists.
A key figure of Pop Art, he made his mark in the 1960s with his portraits and poolside scenes.
His painting A Bigger Splash has become an icon of modern art.
Hockney has explored many mediums: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and digital art.
He often used the iPad and iPhone to create luminous, colorful landscapes.
His work reflects a constant love of color and an ongoing inquiry into visual perception.
He has lived between England, California, and Normandy—each place enriching his art.
Always inventive, he has continually reinvented his practice while staying true to his sensibility.
Today, Hockney is regarded as one of the most influential and daring living artists.

I was truly moved by the exhibition. What struck me most was the vital energy radiating from his colors, as if each canvas opened a wider window onto the world. You can feel his freedom, his boldness, and at the same time a great simplicity. I felt the presence of an artist always in motion, always curious—and it gave me a profound sense of optimism.
