Alongside Frieze and Frieze Sculpture, Frieze Masters brings together some 130 galleries from around the world, presenting works ranging from Antiquity to the 20th century.
For its first participation in Frieze Masters, Galerie Léage will be exhibiting a selection of 18th-century furniture and objets d’art in a stand with contemporary architecture, in keeping with the spirit of the London fair. In the 18th century, the decorative arts were a place of daring and innovation, underpinned by exceptional craftsmanship. Enthusiasts and designers alike wanted to be at the cutting edge of modernity and fashion. As the title of the exhibition held at the Château de Versailles in 2014 so aptly put it, the 18th century is truly “at the source of design”.
This fair will also be the occasion for an original collaboration with the English house de Gournay, whose hand-painted chinoiserie décor will form the backdrop to our stand.
