Gallery Presentation

Since its first exhibitions in 1975, Catherine Issert has developed an international artistic programme. Since 1976, the gallery has taken part in the FIAC, followed by art fairs such as Artissima, Art Genève, Art MonteCarlo and Drawing Now. The gallery represents a considerable number of international artists, with whom it maintains strong links. Few of the major trends to emerge since the 1960s have escaped its attention, such as Support/Surface with Claude Viallat, Narrative Art with Peter Hutchinson, Fluxus with Robert Filliou in 1981, Arte Povera with Pier Paolo Calzolari, Conceptual Art with John M. Armleder and Olivier Mosset, Free Figuration with Jean-Charles and Geometric Abstraction with Michel Verjux, Felice Varini, Cécile Bart and François Morellet, who have been with the gallery since 1990. These four decades of rigorous selection have been beneficial in forging links with major artists, as well as with national museums and art centres, which regularly place their trust in Catherine Issert: Musée national Fernand Léger - Michel Verjux 2010 and John Armleder 2014, Fondation Maeght - Pascal Pinaud 2016, Hôtel de Caumont - Vladimir Skoda 2017, and Musée Marc Chagall - Cécile Bart 2021.
