Florence Loewy is one of the few experts of artist’s books in the world. She founded her gallery in 1989 to deal in promoting rare artists’s books, editions and multiples from the 60’s until now. In 2001, the gallery moved to the Marais, to create a bigger space to exhibit established and emerging artists. The bookstore is designed by the duo Jakob+MacFarlane and she starts a program of exhibitions with General Idea’s Boutique Cœurs Volants. Will follow solo shows of Michel François (2002), Francesc Ruiz (2003), Tim Maul (2005), Yann Sérandour (2007), Didier Rittener (2007), Sara MacKillop (2010), Florian Bézu (2012), Erik Van der Weijde (2012), Joan Ayrton (2015), Charlie Jeffery (2016) and numerous group shows curated by international curators. She has produced editions with such artists as Robert Barry, Barbara Bloom, Jérémie Gindre, Tim Maul, Jonathan Monk, Didier Rittener, Batia Suter and Claude Closky. Since March 2017, she has inverted the books and gallery spaces and has redefined the gallery program with artists she represents. On the book side, she focuses on monographic exhibitions, launches and selections from her inventory of artist’s books.
