Galerie Vallois
Founded in 1983 by Robert Vallois, Galerie Vallois Art Moderne et Contemporain occupies two spaces at 35 and 41 rue de Seine in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris. It is located alongside the Art Deco gallery founded in 1971 by Robert and Cheska Vallois.
Initially dedicated to modern and contemporary sculpture, the gallery has progressively expanded to other media. It now represents painters, photographers and sculptors from diverse geographical backgrounds.
Ceramics hold a prominent place in its programme. Its artists working with the medium include Tania Antoshina from Russia, Philippe Brodzki from Belgium, Mark Brusse from the Netherlands, Paloma Chang from Taiwan, Euloge Glèlè from Benin, King Houndekpinkou from France and Benin, and Yuri Kuper from Russia.
Since 2012, the gallery has given particular attention to the younger generation of African visual artists, especially those from Benin and its diaspora.
