Dear friends of the gallery,

For 35 years, from Ile Saint Louis to Bastille, the gallery has presented the some of the greats: Warhol, Le Parc, Cruz Diez, Féraud, Pavlos, Rotella, Vostell, Kacere and many others.

In the wake of a recent survey, I discovered that the reputation of the gallery was as much due to all the young artists I presented and accompanied over the years: Meynard, Fraser, Lukaschewski, Yoo Sun Tai, Olivier Heinry, as well as to the internationally renowned artists with whom I have worked.

That is why I have decided to reinvigorate the relationship of the gallery with its friend collectors, art lovers and discoverers with an annual pre-summer presentation of 5 young artists whose work has seduced me, and this in an exhibition to which I have the pleasure to invite you on May 20th entitled:

THEY HAVE FUTURE
5+ artists to be discovered.

Stéphane BONJOUR
Jacques BONNEFON
Nan Sun CHARLES
Valentine FOURNIER
Stéphanie LEIGH
Pier Francesco LEROSE
Chloé MARQUAIRE

I hope to maintain the tradition of the gallery, which is to discover and to let be discovered, and possibly be complicit in what will be tomorrow's art history.

Jean Pierre Lavignes
