Young and dynamic, in the image of its founders, the gallery has organized over thirty exhibitions, accompanied by catalogs, giving priority to collaboration with artists’families and beneficiaries. Since October, the gallery welcomes collectors in an exceptional location, a mansion overlooking the sea, in the district of Malmousque.
