2025 and 2026 exhibitor

Located in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the heart of the Carré Rive Gauche, 1831 Art Gallery is a meeting place for collectors, artists and architecture and design professionals. It is a singular gallery, founded in 2014 by Aude and Jean-Louis Herlédan, respectively internationally renowned painter and sculptor and passionate collector; the gallery is directed by Benedetta Battocchio.

“The Feminine in Motion – Bodies, Traces and Metamorphoses…”
On the occasion of Moderne Art Fair 2026, 1831 Art Gallery is pleased to continue its collaboration with Rosenberg & Co. New York, exploring the dialogues and intersections—whether visible or invisible—between modern-era artists and contemporary artists.
This year, the two partner galleries will present the exhibition “The Feminine in Motion – Bodies, Traces and Metamorphoses…”, which brings together a body of works around a single question: how does the female body, a timeless subject of artistic creation, reinvent itself through multiple perspectives, eras and sensibilities?
Long a primary object of representation, the female body here becomes a territory of exploration, memory and transformation. From the great modern figures who helped renew the languages of figuration, to the contemporary artists who question notions of identity and freedom, the exhibition traces a fruitful dialogue between heritage and present-day creation.
Paintings, drawings, sculptures and works on paper reveal the richness of these artistic approaches: the feminine appears here as plural, elusive, symbolic, and in perpetual evolution.
Throughout this journey, the body is never fixed. It becomes a space of passage, of affirmation and of transformation, bearing the marks of time, experience and imagination. Each work bears witness to a singular vision that contributes to a broader reflection on the representation of the feminine in the history of art and in contemporary creation.
