The Silent Symphony of Visual Communication

Jeanne Bucher Jaeger

Jeanne Bucher Jaeger is a Parisian art gallery with a rich history that spans nearly a century. Founded in 1925 by Jeanne Bucher, the gallery has been a vibrant center of artistic expression, showcasing a diverse range of art movements from cubism and surrealism to primitivism and abstraction. Jeanne Bucher's keen eye for talent and her unwavering commitment to promoting artists who would later become major figures in the history of 20th-century art, such as Giacometti and Vieira da Silva, set the tone for the gallery's enduring legacy.

After Jeanne Bucher's death in 1946, Jean-François Jaeger took over the gallery's direction. Jaeger, who was only 23 at the time, continued Bucher's legacy by promoting artists such as Reichel, Lurçat, Vieira da Silva, Szenes, Hajdu, and Baumeister. He also introduced new artists in the 1950s, like Bissière, Nallard, Moser, Aguayo, Tobey, Nevelson. Under Jaeger's leadership, the gallery moved to a larger space in St-Germain-des-Prés, where it remains today.

The gallery's new location allowed for larger exhibitions, which received international press coverage. These included original and exceptional exhibitions of Primitive Arts from Papua, New Guinea, and ancient Mexico, as well as major European and American abstract artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Vieira da Silva, Asger Jorn, Dado, Louise Nevelson, Antonio Seguí, Gérard Fromanger, and Louis Le Brocquy.

In the 2000s, Jean-François Jaeger was joined by his daughter, Véronique Jaeger, who continues to uphold the gallery's commitment to showcasing both historical and contemporary artists. The gallery has been involved in promoting artists linked to public and environmental art like Jean-Paul Philippe and Dani Karavan, and has also promoted important Asian artists such as Japanese artist Kunihiko Moriguchi, recognized as a living national treasure in Japan, and Taoist Master Chen.

The gallery has held numerous emblematic and important exhibitions, published many exhibition catalogues, and placed works by these artists in the collections of major international institutions. It has also collaborated actively in publishing their Catalogues Raisonnés. The gallery's dedication to its artists, its expertise developed over the years, and the loyalty of important art critics and collectors have ensured its continued success.

Today, Jeanne Bucher Jaeger continues to be a beacon of artistic expression, showcasing works by major artists represented by the gallery since its founding. It remains a testament to the vision of its founders and their unwavering commitment to promoting and celebrating the transformative power of art.
