In a continuation of our popular series, we explore the contemporary art scene in Paris through weekly afternoon excursions. Each outing teaches us more about contemporary art appreciation and collecting, as we discover a gallery neighborhood, artists to collect, an international art fair or an auction.
March 25 - New art walk around avenue Matignon with galleries and auction house
April 1 - A private tour of the Drawing Now art fair for contemporary drawing Carreau du Temple (entrance extra, TBA)*
April 8 - New art walk in Montparnasse (Villa Vassilieff, musée Bourdelle, a photo gallery...)
April 15 - Design galleries from Art Déco - 50s to today in St-Germain-des-Prés
May 13 - A private tour of the Salon de Montrouge for emerging artists (entrance extra, TBA)*
As always, we intersperse works we know you’ll enjoy with those that will push your boundaries, so we can appreciate the ever-changing frontiers of art. Because we have so many repeat students, we now approach the classes somewhat like a Socratic dialogue, as we pursue the answer to the question, “What is great art, now?”
If you’re a novice, you’ll come away from these interactive sessions with a good sense of how art collecting works. If you’re already actively collecting you’ll come away with ideas for artists to watch, and collect, right now.
