In Autumn 2008 the Royal Academy will present an exhibition demonstrating the achievement of the famous Galerie Maeght. Founded by Aime and Marguerite Maeght, the gallery opened in Paris in 1945 and was to become one of the most influential and creative galleries of the twentieth century. The artists it showed expressed a bold new spirit in art which exploded in France after the dark years of the war.

This exhibition will present Aime Maeght's outstanding contributions to art in the mid-twentieth century – as an art dealer, exhibition maker and publisher – and will focus on the major artists he exhibited. The exhibition will include about 70 works, including paintings, sculpture, suspended mobiles, prints and artists books, from the extensive collection of the Fondation Maeght in Saint Paul de Vence.

Featuring works by Miro, Calder, Giacometti and Braque, the exhibition will reflect the freshness, optimism and inventiveness of the art that took post-war Paris by storm. The exhibition will be on view through January 2, 2009. -- www.gagosian.com
