David Zwirner is pleased to present Au 108 rue Vieille du Temple, a group exhibition at the gallery’s Paris location that celebrates the legacy of the gallery space and its history—both as the former site of Galerie Yvon Lambert and since 2019 as David Zwirner Paris. This expansive presentation marks forty years since the inauguration of Lambert’s gallery at the same address, 108, rue Vieille du Temple, on 20 September 1986.
Au 108 rue Vieille du Temple highlights the affinities between Galerie Yvon Lambert and David Zwirner and showcases the artist-centric approaches that both gallerists have shared. Since opening his first gallery in Paris in the 1960s, Lambert was among the earliest to champion several artists who now form a foundational part of the David Zwirner program; he is celebrated for bringing postwar avant-garde American art to France and supporting many important French and European artists. The exhibition presents thirty-two international artists who have shown with Yvon Lambert or David Zwirner over the years, many with both. Their work illustrates the transatlantic dialogue that shaped Lambert’s tenure as a gallerist and continues to resonate in an increasingly global art world.
