Presentation

 

Antoine Laurentin comes from a family of collectors and was a collector himself long before turning his passion into the art dealing business. He opened his gallery in 1991 rue Sainte-Anne, before opening Quai Voltaire, and is specialised in the Nineteenth century and beginning of the Twentieth century, with works ranging from the Romantics to the Nabis.

     

Antoine also organises exhibitions devoted to one forgotten artist and his catalogues have become the standard reference book for these artists, which aim to help us to re-discover and appreciate unpublished works and artists. Moreover, he publishes some reprints such as the Dictionary of French Painters by Bellier de la Chavignerie et Auvray.

     

Antoine Laurentin studied history of art and published a catalogue raisonné of paintings by Ferdinand du Puigaudeau (1864 - 1930), and works on a catalogue raisonné of paintings by Jean-Charles-Joseph Rémond.

 

 


The gallery has participated for years in such international fairs as Biennale des Antiquaires, Salon du Dessin in Paris and Foire des Antiquaires de Belgique in Brussels.
