Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger

The gallery is one of the few international galleries today to have reached its 100th anniversary, with a roster of artists and a collection spanning the field of 20th-century European art and extending into the 21st century. Founded by Jeanne Bucher in 1925, the gallery—which has been in the same family for three generations—is regarded as a European institution that has exhibited the great artists of the 20th century: the pre-war abstract, Cubist, and Surrealist avant-gardists (Bauchant, Ernst, Giacometti, Kandinsky, Léger, Masson, Miró, Picasso, Staël, Tanguy, Vieira da Silva…) exhibited by Jeanne Bucher between 1925 and 1946; her successor, Jean-François Jaeger, took over the gallery in 1947, exhibiting the great post-war European and American abstract artists (Staël, Vieira da Silva, Bissière, Tobey, Dubuffet, Jorn…), the new figurative and realist painters of the 1970s (Gérard Fromanger, Dado, Fred Deux…), the urban and environmental sculptors of the 1980s (Dani Karavan, Jean-Paul Philippe, Jean-Pierre Raynaud…), and opened the gallery’s doors to artists from the East, now recognized as national treasures in their own countries. Since 2004, Véronique Jaeger, great-granddaughter of Jeanne Bucher and daughter of Jean-François Jaeger, now President and CEO of the gallery, has been promoting the artists with whom the gallery’s history has been linked since its inception, such as André Bauchant, Vieira da Silva, Arpad Szenes, Nicolas de Staël, Hans Reichel, Roger Bissière, Mark Tobey, Jean Dubuffet, Fermín Aguayo—organizes solo and thematic exhibitions for international museums through loans of works from the gallery’s collection or from private collections built up over time, and pursues and develops new collaborations with contemporary artists such as Guillaume Barth, Michael Biberstein, Miguel Branco, Antoine Grumbach, Zarina, Dani Karavan, Evi Keller, Rui Moreira, Jean-Paul Philippe, Hanns Schimansky, Susumu Shingu, Yang Jiechang, Maria Ana Vasco Costa, Antonella Zazzera… From October 18, 2025, to January 10, 2026, the gallery celebrated its centennial with the exhibition AVENEMENT, from Primitive Art to the Present Day.
