For the first time since the establishment of their alliance, the galleries Le Minotaure, Kaléidoscope, and Alain Le Gaillard are designing a joint exhibition to explore a new theme : Three Little Surrealist Stories. They are teaming up with the Jacques and Thessa Herold Collection and offer us a surprising journey back in time, from the present day to 1924, made up of unexpected connections: from Yayoi Kusama's psychedelic shoes to Jean Arp's biomorphic compositions; from Antonio Recalcati's portrait of Apollinaire, in the style of De Chirico, to Kandinsky's enigmatic lands; from Louise Bourgeois' painful arrangements to Ervand Kotchar's fruity eroticism.
L’un de ces vases, acheté par le Fonds d’Art Contemporain de la Ville de Paris, a aussi été exposé dans l’atelier d’Antoine Bourdelle, au Musée Bourdelle (2021). Nous présentons aujourd’hui ces vases en partenariat avec la collection de la galerie Alain Le Gaillard.

En 1996-1997, Antonio Recalcati rejoint Ceramica Gatti pour y façonner de surprenantes compositions murales, proches du bijou.
Cet atelier ouvert en 1928, est le plus ancien atelier de la ville de Faenza, centre international de la céramique depuis plus de sept siècles.
Sans cesse stimulé par des collaborations avec des artistes et designers du monde entier, il est connu pour ses majoliques polies à l’acide, technique que Recalcati a employée dans la création d’œuvres aux reflets métallisés et irisés.

Established in 2019, the Kaléidoscope Gallery champions artists who left their mark on the second half of the 20th century and supports contemporary creators by creating spaces for juxtaposition and dialogue between generations.
We particularly focus on painters who were active in the Parisian art scene during the 1960s and 1970s, many of whom came from all corners of the world to form a true figurative avant-garde.
Through close collaborations with estates, museums, and art historians, we aim to shed light on this remarkable flourishing of figurative painting in Paris, commonly referred to as "Nouvelle figuration" (New Figuration).
