Public-private: 2 ways of collecting

In the welcoming setting of the Palais Brongniart and for the fourth year in a row, art
lovers and old master paintings' enthusiasts will be able to admire, between 13th
and 16th
November, portraits, genre scenes or landscapes from the Middle Ages to 1870. In

exhibitors including four new participants, Thomas Agnew & Sons (London), Matteo
Grassi (New York), Maurizio Nobile (Bologna) and Porcini (Naples), as well as two
antique frame dealers.
This year Paris Tableau celebrates Flemish painting with an important exhibition and
symposium:
THREE COLLECTIONS, A SINGLE PASSION – MASTERPIECES OF THE CENTRAAL
MUSEUM UTRECHT, THE P. & N. DE BOER FOUNDATION AND AXA ART
The Fair presents an exhibition of paintings from the collections of AXA Art, the
Centraal Museum Utrecht and the P. & N. de Boer Foundation in Amsterdam.
Through Flemish and Dutch masterpieces there will be illustrations of various ways of
constituting and conceiving a collection: from managing a collection as a curator, as
exemplified here with the Utrecht museum, or creating a foundation as Pieter and Nellie
de Boer did, to embodying the value of heritage and the protection of a historical
monument as with the AXA group and the hôtel de La Vaupalière.
UTRECHT AND THE INTERNATIONAL CARAVAGGESQUE MOVEMENT
During this fourth Paris Tableau, a symposium will focus on Flemish, French and Spanish
“caravaggisti” painters. Dr Liesbeth M. Helmus, curator of paintings at Centraal Museum
Utrecht and Prof. Dr. Volker Manuth, professor of Art History at Radboud Universiteit in

2. Nijmegen, along with international specialists, will highlight the early years of this
movement (Thursday 13th
November).
Paris Tableau asks art lovers, collectors and curators to save the date, from 13th
to 16th
November. A full press kit will be available from 17th
July.
