About Lefebrvre & Fils

Expertise/ Historic and contemporary ceramics

140 years of existence, 140 years of expertise, in-depth knowledge of objects, taste and a keen eye, exchanges with museum curators and unwavering ties with private collectors. Since standing still is not an option, the members of the Lefebvre family have been able to discover and offer ever more cutting-edge objects and works to an international clientele since 1880. It was therefore quite natural that Galerie Lefebvre & Fils began in 2009 to take a fresh look at ceramics, and in particular contemporary ceramics, with the leitmotif of showing that this medium has real permanence and that it is constantly being renewed. Since 2009, Galerie Lefebvre & Fils - thanks to its director, Louis Lefebvre, a knowledgeable collector of contemporary art and design - has presented the works of great contemporary artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Ron Nagle and more recently Roger Herman and José Sierra, but it also strives to promote the young art scene with exhibitions by Anabel Juarez, Nick Weddell and Miguel Ortega Delgado, who offered each of them their first solo show in Europe. The gallery is now resolutely committed to contemporary creation alongside international contemporary artists. From the practical and everyday object of previous centuries, we are today faced with works of art in the primary sense of the term. If the gesture persists, the artistic scope is completely different. The idea of ​​container or domestic object disappears in favor of a dialogue between the artist who models it with his hands and the artistic intention that he gives. Drawing on his knowledge and mastery of ceramics, Louis Lefebvre has made his exhibition space a must-see for lovers and collectors of contemporary ceramics. Galerie Lefebvre & Fils is located at 24 rue du Bac, in the heart of Paris for curators and collectors of art and design.
