Émile Gallé (1846–1904) was born in Nancy, an ancient city in northeastern France. He became renowned for the unique world he created in glass, ceramics, and furniture. He is known Nancy’s leading artist, but it was Paris, the capital of France, where the arts flourished and affluent collectors congregated, that enabled him to achieve international success. This exhibition commemorating the 120th anniversary of Gallé’s death traces changes in his creative output, focusing on his relationship with Paris, the city where his international fame became unshakeable.
*There will be an exhibition change during the course of exhibition.
