Daniel Templon: 50 Years of Gallerist Instinct

Daniel Templon, the influential French gallerist, reflects on his five-decade career in a 2016 interview with artpress. His entry into contemporary art began in the 1960s when he purchased postcards of abstract paintings at François Maspero's bookshop La Joie de lire. Templon emphasizes that his connection to art was not intellectual but purely instinctive. The article, published in artpress n°437 (October 2016, pp. 12-15), marks his 50th anniversary in the art world.
