Galerie Vallois Modern and Contemporary Art was founded by Robert Vallois in 1983.
Today located between two spaces at numbers 35 and 41 rue de Seine in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés in Paris, it adjoins the Art Deco Gallery established in 1971 by Robert and Cheska Vallois.
Originally exclusively dedicated to contemporary sculpture, the gallery has gradually embraced other mediums and today represents painters, photographers and sculptors. The gallery represents confirmed artists as well as emerging ones.
In 2012, Galerie Vallois began to endorse the work a younger generation of Western African visual artists, mainly focusing on Beninese artists.
In nine years, Galerie Vallois has become one of the key players promoting and championing contemporary artistic creation in Benin.
