Gabriela and Mathieu Sismann’s passion for Old Master Sculpture led them to create their gallery in 1994 in Paris. Their international standing gallery has gained widespread renown as one of the few exhibition spaces devoted to a whole spectrum of European dating from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Classical and the Baroque periods and the 18th century. Driven by their instinct for fine pieces and their fascination with the spiritual aspect of the creative process, their acquisitions reflect a quest for rare, unknown or forgotten works of art. Most of their works are totally unknown to the art market and constitute real artistic discoveries accompanied by research often leading to attributions. Gabriela and Mathieu Sismann are among the leaders of French, German and Italian Renaissance Gothic sculpture and are also present on Italian and Flemish Baroque sculpture.
GALERIE SISMANN organizes local exhibitions, regularly participates in international exhibitions (BRAFA, Masterpiece London, La Biennale Paris, BIAF, FINE ARTS PARIS... ) and publishes catalogues.
