Galerie Miranda & Baudoin Lebon: fall partnership
From September to December 2024, Galerie Miranda will welcome Baudoin Lebon as 'guest gallery', in its space located at 21 rue du Château d'Eau in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. The two galleries will share the walls for a season, taking the opportunity to cross-fertilize their rosters and founders' convictions, both eclectic but united in their defence of strong contemporary and historical signatures as well as a deep connection to Australia.
Galerie Miranda : After working for over twenty years in the French cultural and business sectors, in 2018 Franco-Australian Miranda Salt founded her gallery in the heart of the 10th arrondissement, the dynamic new hub of Parisian cultural life. Galerie Miranda represents mainly international photographic works and artists, historical and contemporary, who are recognized in their home countries but little-known in France/Europe. Inaugurated on March 8 2018, International Women's Day, the gallery's roster has a strong focus on women artists. Participating in selected fairs, Miranda Salt also develops bespoke roaming exhibitions (pop-ups, collaborations) in France and abroad.
Baudoin Lebon : A pillar of the French scene, Baudoin Lebon created his first gallery in 1976, promoting a diversity of practices (painting, sculpture, photography, installation). One of the first Paris galleries to exhibit Australian Aboriginal painters, he also is credited with the promotion of little-known aspects of certain “tenors” of painting such as Dubuffet or Michaux. Specializing in modern and contemporary photography, the gallery possesses an important inventory of photographs from the XIXème and XXème centuries as well as several estates, such as Lisette Model, and participates in key fairs including AIPAD in New York, Art Busan and South Korea, Paris Photo and Moderne Art Fair in Paris. In June 2024, Baudoin Lebon announced the closure of his Parisian gallery space in order to favour a nomadic project organized around fairs, pop-ups and collaborations, such as this new project with Galerie Miranda.
