Detail InformationEdit

Gimpel Fils is a London art gallery founded by the brothers Peter and Charles Gimpel (nephews of Lord Duveen) on 26 November 1946 in honour of their father, the art dealer and collector, René Gimpel, who himself was the son of a Parisian art dealer and an acquaintance of Marcel Proust. Since 1972, it has been located at 30 Davies Street in Westminster just off Grosvenor Square. The first exhibition, ‘Five Centuries of French painting’ formed a small part of René Gimpel’s collection that he sent to England before the war, the bulk being lost in Paris, which included work by Degas, Monet and Camille Pissarro.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s the gallery established a reputation for supporting innovative upcoming young artists. For example, during this period the gallery became closely associated with the avant-garde, exhibiting Lynn Chadwick, Anthony Caro, Peter Lanyon, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Louis le Brocquy, Robert Adams, from the beginning of their careers, alongside works by Larry Rivers, Marcel Duchamp and Yves Klein. Its exhibition programme included Sam Francis 1957, the first London exhibition of Larry Rivers in 1962, Marcel Duchamp 1965, Alexander Calder 1969 and Willem de Kooning 1976. Other artists included Pierre Soulages, Marie Laurencin, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Nicolas de Stael and Yves Klein. The gallery underwent a major refurbishment in 2000.
