Since 1982, Galerie Dumonteil has assumed a major role in the market of the figurative sculpture. Focusing on modern and contemporary art, Galerie Dumonteil has three gallery spaces in Paris, New York and Shanghai respectively. While the headquarters in Paris focuses on gathering a permanent collection of artifacts, the branches in New York and in Shanghai serve to preserve the zeitgeist of the Interwar Period and promote European artists from this epoch to both Chinese and American audiences through focused, themed exhibitions.
Established in 2008, Galerie Dumonteil’s Shanghai branch, committed to strengthen the collaboration and professional ties within the art scene in Asia, is one of the first Western art galleries that has been involved in the early stage of the burgeoning Chinese contemporary art scene.
Galerie Dumonteil is renowned for its group and solo exhibitions featuring artists who were active between the 1930s and 1970s such as François Pompon, Georges-Lucien Guyot, Rembrandt Bugatti, Diego Giacometti, Charles Artus, Marcel Derny, Pablo Picasso, Armand Petersen and Joseph Czaky. Through its extensive networking with artists and collectors, Galerie Dumonteil has become the leading gallery in terms of animal figures and objects depicting nature around the world. For more than 20 years, the gallery has devoted itself to the discovery of and promotion of talented contemporary artists. Today, artists such as Daniel Daviau, Jean-Marie Fiori, Helmut Koller, Eric Pillot, Jean-Claude Meynard, Rubén Fuentes, Hubert le Gall and Wang Keping, with their predecessors, share the walls of the gallery’s three spaces in Paris, Shanghai and New York, creating a truly diverse group of objects for the appreciation of collectors.
Through a thoughtful selection of artists and objects which reflects the ideologies and aesthetics of the founders, Pierre and Dothi Dumonteil, the gallery builds up an unparalleled taste for its clients by showing selected French art from the 1930s as well as works by contemporary artists. Following the traditional model of marchant d’art, the gallery maintains a long term relationship with artists as their exclusive agent. The gallery’s financial support for sculptors whom it has promoted has been exceptional. Putting much care into the management and distribution of the artist’s works, Galerie Dumonteil out-stands from other art galleries due to its collaboration with artists’ families, various foundations, and artists’ estates. Furthermore, much more than a commercial gallery, Galerie Dumonteil, expanding its influence and involvement to other sectors of the art industry, not only offers bespoken art consultancy which aims to help clients form important and valuable collections but also leases objects to museums for special exhibitions.
Regularly collaborating with museums and numerous influential publications, Galerie Dumonteil has participated in multiple international fairs, including the Biennale des Antiquaires since 1990 and the PAD Paris/London since 1998. A member of the Carré Rive Gauche, Compagnie Nationale des Experts and Syndicat National des Antiquaires, Galerie Dumonteil is a truly versatile and influential establishment.
