In 2018, AIFA was established with the aim of exhibiting and promoting the work of contemporary Japanese artists in Switzerland. The fulfilment of a desire to share emotions experienced during their many Japanese artistic discoveries. 

Japan's dynamic contemporary art scene, constantly fuelled by talented and creative artists, is relatively under-represented outside Japan, making it difficult for foreign art collectors to access. AIFA’s expertise in the Japanese contemporary art market and their privileged relationships allow them to offer a selection of quality original works. 

AIFA's artistic program revolves around individual and collective thematic exhibitions both at the Verbier gallery and in other places likely to host the exhibition of artworks.

In addition to these long-standing relationships with artists such as Joseph Kosuth, James Turrell, and De Wain Valentine, Almine Rech works with young artists such as Farah Atassi, Oliver Beer, Genieve Figgis, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, George Rouy, Emma Stern, Claire Tabouret, Genesis Tramaine, Amanda Wall and Chloe Wise to name a few, alongside established artists and Estates, such as Karel Appel, Alexander Calder, Ha Chong-Hyun, Günther Förg, Jeff Koons, Pablo Picasso, Antoni Tàpies, Mai-Thu, Richard Prince and Tom Wesselmann. In addition to its plethora of internationally recognized, mid-career and emerging artists, it has always been Almine Rech’s mission to continually seek out and include new artists in its program, opening especially to painters.  

In April 1997, the gallery relocated to a larger space in the 13th arrondissement in Paris and first presented a solo show by John McCracken, followed by James Turrell's '‘Wedgework Milkrun III’, which is now part of the Aarhus Museum Collection. Throughout the years, Almine Rech has expanded its spaces throughout Europe, United Kingdom, United States and Asia. The relocation of the initial gallery in Paris to the Marais opened in 2006 with a group exhibition curated by French fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane.

In the subsequent years new gallery spaces opened in Brussels, London, New York, and Shanghai. The inaugural exhibition in New York showcased works of Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso. A second space opened in Paris on Avenue Matignon (with a further expansion of the space in 2022), as well as two venues in Gstaad and the Principality of Monaco in 2023 and a second New York gallery in Tribeca, opened in the third quarter of 2023.

arsenicgalerie's vocation is to explore the most primitive and intimate expressions of artists from different worlds and horizons, all of whom, in the fertile terrain of their unbridled imaginations, express their sensitivity to the protean realities of the contemporary world with energy, humour, violence, impropriety and jubilation.

The genesis of BeCraft can be traced back to a small group of friends, most of them passionate ceramists, who got together in 1981 around Anne Leclercq, a ceramics teacher and one of the founding members of the association (then called the World Craft Council - French-speaking Belgium). Together, they worked to promote creative crafts and improve living conditions for creators.  

Over the years, the association and its objectives have expanded to become the sole representative of contemporary applied arts in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The active work carried out by its team to promote Walloon and Brussels artists, to ensure the continuity of know-how through the transmission of knowledge and to raise public awareness of the reality of contemporary applied arts is fundamental.

Galerie Ariane C-Y specialises in contemporary art, focusing on emerging French and international artists: drawing, painting and sculpture. 

What sets the gallery apart is its support for ultra-contemporary creation. Each exhibition project is conceived in close collaboration with the artist.

Founded in 2011, Galerie Fontana is committed to the development of a socially reflexive program by presenting work across all media including textile, painting, sculpture, photography and monumental installations. At Fontana, they pride themselves on presenting high quality artworks and specialize in contemporary art with emphasis on craftsmanship, materiality, and exquisite technical execution. 

However, the key ingredient determining their choice is a strong personal connection with the artwork and artist. In exhibiting works, especially from engaged female artists such as Claudy Jongstra, Carolein Smit and Hellen van Meene, they seek to embrace equality and unite all people from all nations around cutting-edge contemporary art. In the gallery program and at art fairs these beliefs are translated in their presentation. So not just phrases on website but tangible curated presentations where their respect for social values are expressed through contemporary crafts, conceptual by international leading artists.

In October 2001 Jacques Cerami opened a contemporary art gallery. Located in Couillet, the gallery organises five exhibitions a year from September to July, with monographic, collective or thematic projects. 

The aim is to present art in all its diversity, with a mix of different artistic disciplines (painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photography, installation, video). The exhibition features artists who are close to the concerns of their time, and whose research questions our society. 

Considering openness to the outside world to be essential, it has set itself the goal of promoting young talent both nationally and internationally by helping them to find exhibition projects in galleries, art centres and museums. And in particular by taking part in Contemporary Art Fairs.   

The concern for the link between art and society is one of the constant themes in the work of the Galerie Jacques Cerami.

In its thirty years of existence, the Galerie Lélia Mordoch has held numerous exhibitions in its Paris and Miami venues, as well as at international art fairs in France and the United States.  

From pixel to voxel, from mural sculpture to nano sculpture, the Lélia Mordoch Gallery invites you to discover the work of contemporary artists expressing themselves with both new technologies and traditional media.

Since March 2001, the Galerie Michel Giraud has been located on the Left Bank in Paris, in the heart of the most renowned Art Deco districts. It has thus found its place among the most prestigious galleries presenting this period. Mr. Giraud wanted to make his gallery a place of choice for collectors: he recreated the atmosphere of the interior of a 1930’s era collector, who would share his discoveries and passions on a daily basis or during an exhibition. 

Even if furniture has a prominent place with a selection of works by Ruhlmann, Printz and Sornay, no artistic discipline is left out: in addition to the arts of fire with ceramics by Jean Besnard or Emile Decoeur and glassware, the gallery also exhibits sculpture and painting. Although dedicated to Art Deco, the gallery is also open to the Fine Arts of the 20th century: from Gustave Moreau’s symbolism to contemporary artists.

Galerie SCENE OUVERTE, located at 13 rue Bonaparte, Saint Germain des Prés in Paris, embodies the alliance between contemporary creativity and artisanal excellence. Here, beauty, craftsmanship and the sensations generated by materials converge to create a unique collection of art furniture and ceramics, available as one-off pieces or very limited editions. 

The young designers and ceramists represented by the gallery share a vision that transcends the simple functionality of objects. Their intrinsic creative energy, fuelled by in-depth research into materials and know-how, makes them part of a History of the Decorative Arts. Each work thus becomes the unique story of an era, a total vision of creation.

Galleria Anna Marra is active since 2013. Located in Rome’s ancient Jewish Ghetto, the space’s minimalist architecture is its main characteristic, mirrored in the choice of its exhibitions.

The Gallery focuses on valorising emerging and middle career talents, that promotes by organising exhibitions both in its own exhibition spaces and in public institutions (as Hendrik Christian Andersen Museum, Roma). For its exhibitions the gallery avails itself of scientific contributions from external curators with which each project is elaborated, as well as through the publication of dedicated monographs and catalogues, and participation in international art fairs. While maintaining its attentive eye on Italian art, the intent of the Gallery is also to bring to Italy artists from the international art scene.

Thanks to collaboration with galleries and curators in New York in 2016 it started a cycle of exhibitions dedicated to American artists active on the New York scene, with a particular focus on artists from the African Diaspora. The investigation of this last important artistic reality, which is finally receiving the attention it deserves at an international level, is entrusted to the curatorship of Larry Ossei-Mensah - Formerly Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCAD), Detroit, and Curator-at-Large at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) - and Alessandro Romanini - Co-Curator of the Ivory Coast Pavilion for the Venice Biennale 2022. Over the years, the gallery has broadened the exhibition proposal presenting artists also from South America and Middle-East, with the aim of comparison and cultural enrichment.

Steps away from the bustling Grand Sablon, a neo-Flemish house built in 1888 beckons. Its facade, adorned with a turret and a sculpted balcony, is a distinctive landmark. This former lawyer's office, with its imposing chimneys, now houses Jonathan F. Kugel's Cabinet de Curiosités Contemporain. Here, time and style playfully interweave through a program of themed exhibitions.  

The artists showcased at the Cabinet embody a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary vision. Their works share space with a curated selection of objects spanning centuries. From European paintings and artworks of the 17th to 19th centuries, chosen for their authenticity, aesthetics, and occasional touch of the peculiar, a conversation unfolds. 

"For me," explains Kugel, "the qualities I seek in a contemporary piece are no different from those I value in an antique: virtuosity, craftsmanship, historical significance, and a distinct artistic vision. Ultimately, an object should evoke emotions – beauty, intrigue, or a touch of the grotesque – while simultaneously stimulating the intellect through its scientific or technical ingenuity."

140 years of existence, 140 years of expertise, in-depth knowledge of objects, the right taste and eye, exchanges with museum curators and unfailing links forged with private collectors. Since 1880, the members of the Lefebvre family have been discovering and offering increasingly sophisticated objects and works of art to an international clientele.  

In 2009, Galerie Lefebvre & Fils naturally began to take a fresh look at ceramics, and in particular contemporary ceramics, with the aim of showing that this medium has real permanence and is constantly renewing itself.  

Since 2009, Galerie Lefebvre & Fils - thanks to its director, Louis Lefebvre, a keen collector of contemporary art and design - has presented the work of major contemporary artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Ron Nagle and, more recently, Roger Herman and José Sierra, but it is also committed to promoting the young artistic scene, with exhibitions of work by Emily Yong Beck, Nick Weddell and Maxwell Mustardo, each of whom had their first solo show in Europe. Today, the gallery is resolutely committed to contemporary creation, working alongside international contemporary artists. 

From the practical, everyday objects of previous centuries, we are now faced with works of art in the original sense of the term. While the gesture remains, the artistic scope is quite different. The idea of a container or domestic object has disappeared in favour of a dialogue between the artist who models it with his hands and the artistic intention he gives it.  

Drawing on his knowledge and mastery of ceramics, Louis Lefebvre has made his exhibition space a must for lovers and collectors of contemporary ceramics. 

In keeping with his family's desire to promote and raise awareness of an ancestral skill that enables the creation of complex and unique works of art, Louis Lefebvre opened an artists' residence in Versailles in September 2015: The Residency. 

Located in the former music pavilion of Madame Elisabeth, sister of King Louis XVI, the residence is dedicated to the arts of fire. The artists have a studio at their disposal and stay there from 6 weeks to 3 months, with each residency giving rise to a solo show at the gallery.

These artists represent a century of innovation in the field of ceramics. 

Far from being accessories or utilitarian objects, these pieces are sculptures, designed as works of art by artisans with an intense sensitivity to the material.

Founded in 2011, Modern Shapes Gallery is specialised in unique contemporary and modern sculptural art with an emphasis on ceramics. It is as much a gallery as it is a curated platform. It presents  several exhibitions a year, dedicated to both rising and established talent. And it presents a very personal and balanced selection of objects, often balancing on the dividing line between design, art and architecture. Founder Michaël Francken’s personal taste and quirky passion results in a program that combines both high quality 20th century masters and more contemporary artists working on the balance between abstract, sculptural and architectural work. All bearing witness to craftsmanship and sculptural presence. As a result, Modern Shapes is a progressive and supportive space for emerging and established artists and their objects.

Based on a unique expertise, the NeC gallery is now recognized for what has become their specialty: contemporary ceramics, raised to the rank of sculpture and inscribed in a dynamic of innovation both technical and formal. 

The commitment of the gallery to the promotion of the ceramic medium has been relayed by the dynamism of many international institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Sevres-City of Ceramics and the Decorative Arts Museums in Paris, Icheon World Ceramic Center in Korea ... in which most of the gallery's artists are represented. 

Since collectors are already conquered by the secular expression of ceramics, the NeC gallery has set itself the mission of federating them around contemporary creations. There is no doubt that the public is particularly receptive to the modernity that these artists have approached in a few decades, by the exceptional profusion of their creativity in the world of plastic arts. 

Today, the gallery is concentrating and continuing its search for new talents with the same concern for consistency in its choices to support its collectors in forming ever more innovative collections.

Nendo Galerie is dedicated to modern and contemporary ceramics, with the aim of establishing permanent links between the utilitarian and the fine arts. 

In order to foster conversations and exchanges between different approaches to ceramics, the exhibition program will alternate between sculptors who have made ceramics a medium of expression and ceramists working on domestic forms. A rotating selection of sculptures and objects are also on permanent display at the gallery. 

The ambition of the program and the gallery’s research is international, with an important opening towards Asia and Latin America, as well as towards scenes still little considered in France, such as the Netherlands or eastern Europe.

Guido Romero Pierini and Tristan Paprocki join forces in 2020 to found the Romero Paprocki gallery, representing contemporary rising and mid-career french and international artists. 

For the gallery, settings support any given discourse that highlights the artist’s work as well as his thoughts, the revelation of a shape, its dialogue, its structure of meaning and its articulation. The gallery has to be a unique spacetime, equally favorable to reflection and contemplation, to exchange as much as to introspection. 

Guido and Tristan also choose spaces for their museum-like scale so that they live up to the quality of the works that are being displayed in them, with a steady desire to formulate a discourse both visible and legible at the service of art.

Since 1740, the Sèvres Manufacture has affirmed its heritage and experimental vocation at the same time. 

The Manufacture is a unique, lively laboratory and an important player in the artistic scene, design and decorative arts. It draws its strength from the excellence of the 120 ceramists who practice and master about thirty professions there, but also from that of its materials (pastes, colors, enamels...) manufactured in situ according to ancient techniques preserved and which are today exceptional and privileged tools of contemporary artistic expression. 

Both a transmission factory, guarantor of the safeguarding of its know-how and the widest dissemination of knowledge on ceramic art, but also a high-end creative laboratory through its ability to innovate in its porcelain production for almost three centuries, it is an atypical and unique public institution that preserves tradition and modernity in a fair balance.
