Galerie Paul Prouté

The Paul Prouté gallery is one of the oldest family-owned rare art galleries in Paris, with over four generations worth of expertise in art dealing. The gallery was founded almost 150 years ago by Victor Prouté, great grandfather to the present Prouté family. Paul Prouté — the son of Victor Prouté — established the gallery at its present location in Paris on the rue de Seine, situated in the heart of St Germain des Prés.

The Paul Prouté gallery prides itself on the works of exacting quality it offers to collectors, institutions and amateurs alike. The gallery specialises in original drawings and prints of the sixteenth to twenty-first century European masters, including Dürer, Rembrandt, Goya, Whistler, Vallotton, Picasso, Matisse, Soulages.

The gallery publishes two catalogues annually of their constantly renewing acquisitions and participates in art fairs: le Salon du Dessin, and Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale.
