History

The Maeght gallery was inaugurated with the Henri Matisse exhibition in December 1945 in Paris. From 1946, Bonnard, Braque, Marchand, Rouault, Baya exhibited for the first time at the Parisian gallery. In 1949, Andry-Farcy exhibited his collection of abstract art from the Grenoble museum there during the exhibition The First Masters of Abstract Art.[4]

In 1956, Paule and Adrien Maeght opened their own gallery at 42, rue du Bac in Paris, with an exhibition by Alberto Giacometti. The new generation of “Maeght” artists is exhibited there: Kelly, Cortot,[5] Bazaine, Derain, Tal-Coat, Palazuelo, Chillida, Ubac, Fiedler. They were joined in 1966 by Bacon, Riopelle, Tàpies, Rebeyrolle, Bury, Adami, Monory.

In 1964, Adrien Maeght created the ARTE printing works in the heart of Paris, where all Maeght editions have been produced ever since. Maeght Éditeur published more than 12,000 titles.

Today, the Maeght gallery and the editions are managed by Isabelle Maeght. The exhibitions allow visitors and collectors to find the works of historical artists such as Miró, Calder, Braque, Matisse, Chagall, Tàpies, Chillida, Gasiorowski, Rebeyrolle, Monory, Del Re, Depin, Doerflinger, Couturier, Levy.
