Our exhibitions for Spring 2014

With the warm weather arrives two major exhibitions for Galerie Vauclair. First, the month of May will mark the annual event of the Carré Rive Gauche in Paris. 

From May 15 to 18, we invite you to discover an exhibition on the theme "Each Piece has a Story" For this occasion we will present some new pieces like our exceptional panel by the Manufacture of Sarreguemines, France. 

Manufacture de Sarreguemines, Decorative panel "Lohengrin" by Wagner, circa 1870-1880, enameled earthenware, 165 x 90 cm

This decorative panel composed of sixty-six tiles, comes from the kilns of the ceramic factory of Sarreguemines. The décor shows the great influence of Richard Wagner, his music and operas on both fine arts and decorative arts. Here the décor recalls one of his most famous works: Lohengrin. Written between 1845 and 1848, this opera was first given in 1850. The scene represented is part of the first act, when the mysterious chevalier arrives on his very ornate ship, looking for Elsa who eventually accepts to marry him. 

By itself, this panel evokes a piece of the history of decorative arts, the history of taste. It convenes various arts to form a new story.

For June 2014, Galerie Vauclair prepares an unprecedented event: for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings, she will exhibit more than one hundred barbotines/majolica at Manoir d'Argouges, exceptional property of Laure & Bertrand Levasseur. 

Manoir d'Argouges (Vaux-sur-Aure), built between the 15th and the 17th century

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Stéphane Bern, presenter of the tv program "Secrets of History", the exhibition "L'Art de la Barbotine, les Suiveurs de Palissy débarquent en Normandie" will run from 1 to 22 June 2014.

For the exhibition you will find a beautiful collection of Palissy's Followers : Avisseau, Landais, Brard, Barbizet, Renoleau... All those artists who, during the second half of the nineteenth century, look to the art of the past, especially the Renaissance.

The press starts to talk about the event : 

Beautiful article in the journal "La Renaissance / Le Bessin / Côte de Nacre" for April 4th 2014

Happy New Year 2014 !

★ Celebrate Advent Nights with the Galerie Vauclair ★

On Thursday, December 5 will be an opportunity for the Galerie Vauclair to begin with you the celebration of Advent and enter into the Christmas season. We therefore invite you on this December 5 for a wonderful evening at 24 rue de Beaune to show you a selection of pieces that may be able to give you inspiration for your Christmas gifts.

We'll also take the opportunity to celebrate our return from China with lots of interesting projects out there for months to come. Following our first participation in Fine Art Asia at the beginning of October 2013, we now prepare the French May 2014 (Hong Kong, May 2014). China has opened its doors to us and we are proud to present our so special collection there. The members of the Consulate of France in Hong Kong are invaluable in these upcoming projects. Many thanks to them.
