In 1966, Alain and Michèle Blondel opened their first gallery in the Saint-Germain des Prés area. They began by showing great artists from the beginning of the 20th century, like Boutet de Monvel, Hector Guimard and Tamara de Lempicka. They also organized retrospectives of Burne-Jones and the Preraphaelistes, the symbolist sculptor Rubert Carabin... Many of the artworks they exhibited are now in prestigious collections like the one of the Orsay Museum in Paris.
In 1977, they decided to settle near the Centre Pompidou and the Galerie du Luxembourg became Galerie Alain Blondel. They still continued to organize big retrospectives (Jean Dupas, Marcel-Berroneau, Hector Guimard) but they devoted themselves more and more to contemporary art. From that time, they show and promote figurative artists such as the French painter Francine Van Hove, the Italians Alessandro Papetti and Sergio Ceccotti, the Russian Ivan Loubennikov and the sculptors Christian Renonciat, Paul Day and José Seguiri.
Alain Blondel is also expert of Tamara de Lempicka’s oeuvre and the author of its catalogue raisonné.
