GALERIE 1900-2000

Founded in 1972 on the advice of Man Ray by Marcel Fleiss, Fred Fisher and Philippe Klein, the Galerie des Quatre Mouvements exhibited Dada, Surrealist, Pop and Hyperrealist works. Two years later, it participated in its first Basel fair.

In 1981, Marcel Fleiss launched Galerie 1900-2000 on his own, which succeeded Quatre Mouvements by expanding the artistic field to other avant-garde movements (Lettrism, Fluxus…) and to some contemporary artists (Pol Bury, George Condo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even Keith Haring’s last exhibition before his death).

In 1991, Marcel Fleiss was joined by his son David who developed connections with contemporary artists to organize exhibitions and handle some of the Gallery’s booths at art fairs. He also developed the photography department.
