GALERIE SISMANN

For more than thirty years, Galerie Sismann has been a unique and distinguished destination devoted exclusively to European sculpture, spanning the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Classical and Baroque periods, through to the end of the eighteenth century. The gallery is particularly renowned for its ability to uncover forgotten masterpieces from the art market and private collections.

Internationally recognised for its expertise in the field of early European sculpture, Galerie Sismann advises both private collectors and institutions on acquisitions and deaccessions, collection development and enhancement, as well as the authentication and valuation of sculptures dating from the twelfth to the eighteenth century. Its discoveries have enriched some of the world’s most prestigious collections, including those of the Louvre Museum (Paris), the National Museum of the Middle Ages (Paris), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), the National Museum of the Renaissance (Écouen), the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, the Museum of Fine Arts of Strasbourg, the Lambert Foundation (Avignon), the Gandur Foundation for Art (Geneva), and The Alana Collection (New York).

The Sismanns are passionate advocates of historic sculpture, approaching each acquisition as a quest for rare, overlooked and little-known works of art. They are committed to restoring these works to their proper historical context, identifying their creators and tracing their original purpose and destination. Independent art dealers and dedicated scholars at heart, Gabriela and Mathieu place research and excellence at the centre of their practice. Each discovery is acquired with the utmost care, subjected to meticulous study and attribution, published, and ultimately presented through the gallery or at leading international art fairs.
