Dominique Lévy gallery has announced its participation in the XXVII edition of the Biennale des Antiquaires, Paris, from September 11 to 21, 2014. This is the gallery's first independent foray at one of the world's most celebrated gatherings of renowned representatives from every aesthetic sphere.

Dominique Lévy specializes in masterworks of European and American art of the 20th century, with a program that bridges parallel movements from the two continents and explores tendencies in modern and contemporary art through curated exhibitions, original scholarship, and new publications. At the Paris Biennale, the gallery will present a "connoisseur's salon" at stand SD2. Here visitors will be invited to linger among historically significant paintings and sculptures by both European and American artists -- including works by Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Pierre Soulages, Andy Warhol, Robert Motherwell, René Magritte, and Joan Miró -- in an elegant and intimate setting designed by the acclaimed American architect and collector Peter Marino.

Dominique Lévy has collaborated on a variety of special projects with Peter Marino over recent years. In the salon setting they have envisioned for the Paris Biennale, works of art will be displayed in visual dialogue with a group of bronze sculptural boxes designed by Marino, from a series he debuted at the 2012 Biennale. Also on view in will be masterpieces of African sculpture curated by noted historian and dealer Bernard de Grunne. The integration of exceptional tribal works in the stand's mise-en-scène foregrounds the profound influence that African and Oceanic art exerted upon the work of modern masters.

Dominique Lévy is presenting this unique juxtaposition in the hope that visitors will discover new affinities and and enjoy new insights into the spheres of modern art, contemporary design, and tribal art.
