APPLICAT-PRAZAN

Applicat-Prazan is a leading international gallery of modern art located in Paris.

Their line is as follows:

• Hyper-specialization which has led the gallery to concentrate uniquely on European Post-war and on the most significant Artists of this period who worked in Paris: Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Jean Hélion, Asger Jorn, Wifredo Lam, Alberto Magnelli, André Masson, Georges Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Soulages, Nicolas de Staël, Maria Elena Vieira da Silva, Wols, Zao Wou-Ki, …
• Hyper-selectivity – confining the gallery’s choice of paintings to those we judge to be of the best quality,
• A policy specifically adapted to the private collector who by definition takes a long term view of things, informing them that a work of art is by its very nature not liquid in the sense generally understood by the financial markets.
• Their skills are limited to seeking out the artistic and civilizational value, subjective by definition, of the works of art it proposes for sale.

Applicat-Prazan participates in Art Genève, Art Gstaad, Tefaf Maastricht, Art Basel, FAB Paris, Art Basel Paris and develops numerous institutional collaborations every year.
