Michel Guillet, a name synonymous with art on Avenue Trudaine. Here, in the heart of Paris, stands Galerie Guillet. It’s not just a gallery. It’s a legacy. It’s a love story between a man and his city. Michel, a child of the 9th arrondissement, grew up surrounded by art. His grandfather, a figure of erudition, was a bookseller, music publisher, and antique dealer on Rue de Maubeuge. This legacy of art continued with Michel’s father, Marcel. Marcel, an art framer and dealer, met his future wife, Tina, in their shared love for art. Tina, an American fashion designer, added her own vibrant touch to the family’s artistic tapestry. In 1977, Michel established Galerie Guillet. His vision? To showcase the unsung heroes of the Ecole de Paris, those artists who, from the 1900s to the 1960s, made Paris the epicenter of creativity. His gallery became a haven for artists like Georges Rohner, Robert Humblot, and Pierre Tal Coat. These were the artists who breathed life into their canvases with landscapes and nature, artists who, despite being featured in prestigious museums worldwide, remained relatively unknown in their own country. Galerie Guillet became their voice, their platform. Even today, Galerie Guillet continues to be a champion of contemporary artists working in Paris. Michel, with his keen eye, can spot talent in the rawest form. Galerie Guillet, a testament to Michel’s unwavering commitment to art and his beloved city, stands as a vibrant symbol of artistic expression on Avenue Trudaine.
