gimpel & m�ller chez Gimpel Fils A Plural Summer 9 - 31 July and 2 - 21 august 2009 private view: Thursday 9 July, 6-8 pm Two years ago Berthold M�ller and Ren� Gimpel decided to open a Parisian gallery. Berthold M�ller had maintained a gallery for several years in south-west France, in Salies-de-B�arn, but was doing ever more business in the capital. For his part Ren� Gimpel reflected on his grandfather's gallery in Paris, which ran from the 1880s until the outbreak of World War II; it seemed an appropriate gesture to return to the city which gave rise to an art dealing dynasty. Under Berthold Muller's guidance, the gallery has focused on non-objective European art, with an emphasis on geometric abstraction. This emphasis is in a lineage with a previous Gimpel Fils partnership in Zurich, Gimpel & Hanover. From 9 - 31 July, the focus will be on this movement, which began with Mondrian and his co-disciples, The artists in this part of the exhibition are: Norman Dilworth (UK), Geert van Fastenhout (NL), Ren� Guiffrey (F), Guy de Lussigny (F), Mad� (F) Antoine de Margerie (F), Jan Meyer-Rogge (D), Knut Navrot (F), Joan Pal� (E), Alan Reynolds (UK) and Klaus Staudt (D). These artists show a great diversity of expression within the common language of geometric abstraction. The second part of the exhibition, from 2 - 21 August, deals with a more fluid form of expression, including lyrical and informal abstraction. A common theme of the chosen works is immateriality and silence, inviting meditative contemplation: Henri-Georges Adam (F), Didier Bergerol (F), Marie-Agn�s Bourguignon (F), Eve Gramatzki (D), Krochka (F), Denise Liot� (F), Karin Radoy (D), Hans Steinbrenner (D), Ir�ne Zack (F) and L�on Zack (F) Situated in the heart of St Germain, galerie gimpel & m�ller has held a series of talks, debates and musical evenings in addition to the exhibition program. The main emphasis has been on literary and philosophical enquiry, most recently with a round-table discussion on Jean-Paul Sartre.
