The “L’invité du soir” (Guest of the Evening) lecture series is part of a drive to promote culture shared jointly by IESA arts&culture and Connaissance des Arts.
This year Daniel Templon is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his gallery. To mark the occasion, Flammarion is publishing a book, “Daniel Templon: une histoire d’art contemporain” (Daniel Templon: A History of Contemporary Art).
During this lecture, Daniel Templon will discuss his career through the history of his gallery, which over the decades has become one of the major contemporary art galleries in France and abroad. We will retrace with him his avant-garde path through the life and work of this young gallery owner who, in 1966, at age 21, opened his gallery with artists he was the first to introduce in France, such as Christian Boltanski, Martin Barré, Ben Vauthier, Carl André, Sol Lewitt, Arman, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Daniel Buren, Wilhem de Kooning, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, Helmut Newton, and Andy Warhol. He will conclude with the release of his book from Flammarion, Daniel Templon: une histoire d’art (Daniel Templon: A History of Art)
