\n\tThe baton is being passed from an elder generation of French art dealer to a younger one, with the purchase of Galerie Malingue by dealer Kamel Mennour, who will take over Malingue\u2019s 4,300-square-foot showroom at 26 Avenue Matignon in Paris\u2019s Matignon district.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLocated in a space with a long history in modern art, formerly Galerie Malingue, this new venue reflects Mennour\u2019s continued growth while setting out a clear direction: the showcasing of significant works by modern, post-war and contemporary artists from private collections,\u201d said the gallery in an emailed announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis curatorial programme complements the gallery\u2019s primary market activity and its longstanding work with artist estates over the past 25 years,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cIt also reinforces Mennour\u2019s increased focus on historical works over recent years, including the exhibition of masterpieces by artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell, Henri Matisse, Tsuguharu Foujita and Yayoi Kusama.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDaniel Malingue founded his gallery, focused on Impressionism, Surrealism, and modern and postwar art, more than five decades ago. The gallery\u2019s website lists artists including Georges Braque, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul C\u00e9zanne, Eug\u00e9ne Delacroix, Paul Gauguin, Juan Gris, Ren\u00e9 Magritte, \u00c9douard Manet, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Picasso, Mark Rothko, Dorothea Tanning, and Vincent van Gogh. It often lends to prestigious museum exhibitions and has a history of publishing catalogues raisonn\u00e9, or comprehensive catalogues of the works of individual artists.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis new location has been conceived as an exhibition space for works by artists who have truly shaped art history, artworks that come from important collections and that are of museum quality,\u201d said Mennour in a statement. \u201cIt will allow us to present historical works, stage monographic and thematic exhibitions, and to foster a dialogue across different generations of artists. I am particularly delighted to take over this historic space and to embark on a new chapter for the gallery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMenour opened his gallery in Paris in 1999. He represents about forty artists, including significant figures such as Daniel Buren, Douglas Gordon, Camille Henrot, Alicja Kwade, Ugo Rondinone, and Lee Ufan. In 2023, the gallery launched the Mennour Institute, which promotes research and education in modern and contemporary art through doctoral fellowships, education programs and philanthropy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a conversation with ARTnews<\/em> at the TEFAF Maastricht art fair recently, Mennour expressed his admiration for Malingue, who he described as \u201clike a god to my generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
