\n\tIn a multi-year market slowdown, numerous galleries large and small have either gone out of business or retrenched. Galerie 1900-2000, founded in Paris, opened a New York branch on Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side in February 2023 as a joint venture with Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois, but the Manhattan outpost is going dark. Its last exhibition closed in September.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe decided to close the gallery mainly because the business was quite slow even though we made some fantastic contacts with great public and private collectors but even better with institutions,\u201d said David Fleiss, one of the gallery\u2019s principals, in an email. Fleiss noted sales such as a Francis Picabia painting that went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as well as placing works by other artists with the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cBut we opened the gallery during difficult times in the world that led to making the market quite slow and we decided that we should close for now,\u201d said Fleiss. He did not rule out a possible future return to New York.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn his post, Fleiss highlighted shows the gallery had staged in New York like \u201cAir de New York. Marcel Duchamp & Francis Picabia,\u201d in 2023; \u201cPerceptions Unveiled: Jean Dubuffet and Allan McCollum,\u201d in 2024; \u201c7 Paintings and 1 Painting: Francis Picabia and Harold Ancart,\u201d curated by Ancart, in 2024; and a 2025 show, \u201cEduardo\u2019s birthday party on Ave. Gabriel,\u201d curated by artist Oscar Murillo, including works by Arshile Gorky, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta, and Murillo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tThe gallery organized two shows in collaboration with Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois: \u201cI remember you well in the Chelsea hotel,\u201d from 2023, including artworks from the historic hotel\u2019s collection, by artists from Arman to Andy Warhol; and \u201cElles,\u201d with artists from that gallery\u2019s holdings and works by Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington from Galerie 1900-2000.<\/p>\n
\n\tGalerie 1900-2000 was launched in the French capital in 1981 by Marcel Fleiss, who had formerly co-founded Paris\u2019s Galerie des Quatre Mouvements, and began by showing modern and contemporary art with a specialty in Dada and Surrealism. His son David joined him in 1991, and the gallery has exhibited at fairs including TEFAF (in Maastricht and New York), Art Basel (in Switzerland, Paris, and Miami Beach), Independent in New York, Frieze Masters in London, and Paris\u2019s now defunct FIAC. The Paris gallery has staged exhibitions devoted to artists such as Joseph Cornell, Keith Haring, Sol LeWitt, Dora Maar, Francis Picabia, and Ed Ruscha, and movements such as Fluxus.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
