AD - "Opening"

Amelie, Maison d’Art sets its sights on New York. When wandering through Amelie, Maison d’Art in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the space feels more like a collector’s genteel abode than a traditional gallery; the paintings, sculptures, ceramics, photography, and works on paper enliven the space with both emerging and established talents.

Amélie du Chalard is now replicating those inviting, residential vibes with her first international outpost in New York. Open by appointment only, the 6,000-square-foot ground floor space is a former artist’s studio in a Soho building; originally dating back to 1873, the building has been recently revamped by Brooklyn architect and designer Keith Burns, and Paris-based Tess Walraven and Nike Vogrinec. In the main room, past Lili Delaroque’s vertical ceramic sculpture and Linde Freya Tangelder’s curving wood and cast bronze bench, the gallery is defined by a floor-to-ceiling brass curtain, a door flaunting carved French oak panels by Eloi Schultz, cast-iron Corinthian columns, and a playful pool table drenched in natural light.
