Booth C9

For the first time in the United States since 1954, we are honoured to present a unique selection of paintings by the American painter:

Loïs FREDERICK (Chadron, Nebraska 1930 – Paris 2013).

“Of her native Nebraska, she has retained images of immense plains leading to Rocky Mountains. Latitude: Rome. Altitude: 2700 feet. Sun, light, whatever the season. Climate of contrasts...” Michel Faucher

Heiress to Matisse and Rothko whom she met in 1950, her vivid coloured – even fluorescent from the 1970’s - paintings are a real “hymn to the light”.

Also, we are very pleased to present a selection of very fine works by major Post-War Abstract Expressionist Artists including Sam Francis, Mark Tobey, Paul Jenkins, Gerard Schneider and Huguette Arthur Bertrand.

Each creates his very individual form of Abstraction: Paul Jenkins’ fluid veils and poesy of phenomena are so evocative of wind. Gerard Schneider’s outward projection of the inner self creates eruptive paintings, straight out of Vulcan’s forge. Huguette Arthur Bertrand develops very personal gestures, nervous or serene, always the expression of her inner dynamism. Mark Tobey’s All-Overs, which Pollock admired greatly, form the roots of Abstract Expressionism.

A very fine faun drawing by Picasso will also be presented at this occasion.

In parallel, we are very pleased to present our Artists’ latest Furniture Creations:

- Gildas Berthelot’s sculpture-side-table as well as LA MER, his sculptural sideboard created in exclusivity for the fair,
- Jedd Novatt’s JAGG, his sculpture-table,
- Nathaniel Rackowe’s LT03, his kynetic side-table,
- Guy de Rougemont’s historical CLOUD TABLE (one of two such pieces ever made),
- Salome de Fontainieu’s STONEHENGE, her sofa and HOMEFIRE, her lamp.

From November 10, Gallery Diane de Polignac is delighted to present a solo-show by Salomé de Fontainieu, at HOMER’s Richard Mishaan:
