Abstract
The Iris Clert Gallery, 1951-1961 : launching oneself into the world of art. The gallery directed by Iris Clert was inaugurated in 1956. Despite being a novice in the world of the art market, it quickly acquired a visibility and legitimacy in the middle of the Parisian artistic landscape and became one of the principal experimental galleries of the period. At the turn of the 1960s, the gallery is proud to house collective expositions — the successive Micro-Salons that united the full production of pictorial works of the period — and essential monographies : Yves Klein’s Le Vide (April 1958), Jean Tinguely’s Les Meta-Matics (July 1959), Le Plein of Arman (October 1960). By putting the Iris Clert Gallery in the context of the time and by analyzing the types of diffusion and mediation used by the owner of the gallery, this study sheds light on the most innovative aspects of her practise and programming, which are centred around her leading personality, emphasizing the very form of the exposition and the appeal to informative and communicative methods adapted to her object, which is the contemporary art.
