The gallery was founded in 1957 by Mr Claude Bernard near the École des Beaux-Arts, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Internationally renowned for exhibitions such as Bacon in 1977, Picasso in 1980, Hockney in 1975, 1982 and 1985, and Giacometti in 2012, to name but a few, the gallery’s vocation is the presentation of contemporary artists in both painting and sculpture.
After Claude Bernard’s death in November 2022, the adventure continues with Michel Soskine, his nephew.
Founder of the Claude Bernard Ltd. New York and Michel Soskine Inc. Madrid-New York, he took over management of the gallery in Paris.
With a new program and new artists, this historic gallery makes a fresh start.
