Seeking to offer a vibrant new destination in the local community where contemporary art from Europe, New York and Los Angeles intertwine, and modern prodigies mingle with established masters, De Re Gallery provides an exciting new exhibit space just three blocks west of the Pacific Design Center.
Scouring the world for art treasures, Tanguy and Sebbag have launched De Re Gallery with a focus on a dozen-plus of the most promising contemporary artists, which include New York star Mike Sagato, whose meticulous oil paintings depict humanity in playful dramas, Florence-trained, Louvre-commissioned sculptor Victor Gingembre, Billy Childish painting protégée Gretchen Andrew, renowned German-born photographer Stefanie Schneider, among others. The works of these 21st century prodigies are displayed alongside those of Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Longo, Sol Lewitt and others. As director Marine Tanguy explains, the mission of the gallery is to embrace “a sense of artistic continuity,” creating a living dialogue between these masters of the present and the past.
“We have the grand privilege to witness the creation of the art world of tomorrow in Los Angeles,” offered Marianne Le Morvan, contemporary art expert. “Marine Tanguy, whom artistic intuition already gave her the opportunity to direct an influential gallery in the European contemporary art market, brings her whole personality to this new gallery, partnering with the creative eye of art enthusiast and collector Steph Sebbag.”
