About
Christian berst art brut gallery is internationally recognized as a key player in its field.
Since 2005, although also exhibiting established classics, it is best known for its contemporary discoveries, for which it was actively involved in their institutionalization (MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum Museum of Art, Centre Pompidou…).
Some of its artists were in the selection for the Venice Biennale 2013 while Luboš Plný and Dan Miller, who has been supported by the gallery,
were selected for the Venice Biennale 2017.
In 2021, the works of 50 of the artists it defends have entered the collections of the Centre Pompidou.
To introduce an ever-wider public into the mysteries of art brut—a field that knows no formal, geographical, or historical boundaries—the gallery regularly takes part in international fairs (FIAC, Paris+ by Art Basel, Paris Photo, artgenève, ARCO Madrid…) and distinguishes itself by the publishing of more than 100 bilingual catalogs.
In 2020, the gallery opened a second space—the Bridge—where curators are invited to express their vision of the fertile dialogue between art brut and other art genre.
In 2022, Christian Berst co-directed, with Raphaël Koenig, the Cerisy symposium devoted to art brut.
