Gallery Presentation
Michèle Aittouarès founded Galerie Berthet-Aittouarès in 1986. In 2000, she was joined by her daughter Odile Aittouarès, art historian and author of the Friesz catalog raisonné, co-founder of the Festival Photo Saint Germain and the Association Jeudi des Beaux-Arts.
Their collaboration began with the exhibition “Chine-Occident ou l'aventure du signe”, featuring works by Zao Wou-Ki, Mark Tobey, Jean Degottex, Henri Michaux and Shan Sa.
The gallery occupies two Left Bank spaces; initially 29 rue de Seine, then 2 rue des Beaux-Arts, formerly Pierre Loeb's gallery.
Mother and daughter specialize in modern and contemporary art, with an emphasis on informal art from the 50s to the 80s. They are references for artists such as Jean Degottex, Hans Hartung, Pierre Tal Coat, Henri Michaux, André Marfaing, Vera Molnar and Mario Giacomelli.
