David Zwirner Paris Celebrates Galerie Yvon Lambert's 40th Anniversary
David Zwirner is set to unveil 'Au 108 rue Vieille du Temple,' a group exhibition at its Paris venue, celebrating the gallery's rich history, previously home to Galerie Yvon Lambert and, since 2019, David Zwirner Paris. This event commemorates the 40th anniversary of Lambert's gallery, which opened its doors at 108, rue Vieille du Temple on 20 September 1986. The exhibition illustrates the shared artist-focused philosophies of both gallerists, emphasizing the ties between them. Lambert, who established his first Paris gallery in the 1960s, was an early advocate for many artists integral to David Zwirner's current roster and is renowned for introducing postwar avant-garde American art to France while also supporting significant French and European artists.
