The Gismondi gallery is one of the most important 17th and 18th Centuries art and antiques gallery in Southern France. First focused on Boulle marquetry commodes and French 17th Century cabinets, the gallery has recently chosen to expend his taste and open the gallery's door to contemporary art. This choice is the result of two aspects.
First of all today's collectors don't buy a full range of furniture and art works from a single period. If twenty years ago collectors use to recreate "period rooms" - following the museums strategy - nowadays people aren't afraid to mix different periods and styles in a same room.
The second reason is related to the prices that reach top quality artworks in auction, that makes these pieces totally unreachable from new collectors. "Greatest pieces reach top prices, they are very expensive and this is a pity because young collectors can't afford such pieces", says Jean Gismondi.
