Bernheim-Jeune

Bernheim-Jeune was an art gallery on Avenue Matignon with exhibition spaces spanning multiple floors dedicated to modern and contemporary works. The rooms displayed both established and emerging artists within its sales and presentation areas.

Alexandre Bernheim established this gallery in 1863 and it quickly became important for artists of the period. Starting in 1874, it was among the first in Paris to present Impressionist paintings to the public.

The gallery published numerous art books and monographs that documented modern artists and movements for collectors and museums. These publications shaped how people understood and valued contemporary art during the early twentieth century.

The gallery is located on Avenue Matignon in the 8th arrondissement and is within walking distance of several metro stations. It helps to contact ahead about opening times and current exhibitions to ensure the space is open for your visit.

During World War II, Nazi forces seized the gallery's art collection, triggering decades of disputes over returning the works. This history of lost and reclaimed pieces reflects the complicated past of many European art collections.
