For nearly eight years, I have been organizing exhibitions at Galerie aKonzept in Berlin. Over time, this work led me to explore the artwork of lesser-known artists—far beyond the few names that regularly appear in auction catalogs.
While collaborating with Emmanuelle Rapin on the exhibition, catalog, and website devoted to the book editions of Hungarian artist Endre Tót, I found myself completely captivated. For several years, I searched wherever possible to reconstruct his output from 1971 to 1989. One publication was missing from my collection—a book published by Jean Sellem, who organized two exhibitions of Tót’s work. After contacting him, we traveled to Sweden to visit. His gallery, active from 1971 to 1982, houses a valuable archive that he entrusted to me about two years ago, still in collaboration with Emmanuelle Rapin.
Now based in Switzerland, this archive is in the process of being digitized so that it can be made available online to everyone. You can view a beta version here ●.
The project focused on Endre Tót’s book editions is now complete and available online here ●. A printed catalog has also been produced and can be ordered here ●.
In addition to my work with the gallery and archives, I see myself as a collector in passing. I acquire artworks with enthusiasm and admiration, then offer them for sale after some time. A selection of pieces currently for sale is displayed above ↑
This website is presented in English for accessibility, but I also reply in French and German when needed.
