Abstract:

The report examines some aspects of the activities of the Gallery Berès which is one of the most important french galleries, run by a third generation of gallerists. The gallery is located at Quai Voltaire 25 in Paris. The history of both the gallery and the Berès family, who are significant collectors and gallery owners is traced. The profile of the gallery, which specializes in two different areas: Japanese art and French painting from the 19th and 20th centuries is analyzed. The report examines some of the strategies of the gallery and in particular the participations in art fairs such as Brafa Art Fair, Tefaf, Biennale des Antiquaires and others. The report also analyzes the structure of the gallery, as well as the work of the team. The study also focuses on the role and the importance of the France’s National Antique Dealers Federation, which president is Anisabelle Berès-Montanari. The issue of the necessary certificates for export and authenticity that a work of art must have, depending on its value and other legal requirements related to the gallery activity in France is also considered.
