Galerie AURELIEN JEAUNEAU
Art historian and young antique dealer Aurélien Jeauneau initially championed French design from the second half of the 20th century. In his gallery at the Marché Paul Bert, he offered signed and catalogued pieces by Pierre Paulin, Joseph-André Motte, Robert Debièvre, Michel Mortier, Louis Paolozzi, Geneviève Dangles and Christian de France… with a particular fondness for the work of Pierre Guariche.
In January 2026, he opened his gallery at 18 rue des Grands-Augustins with the exhibition “Yesterday is Tomorrow,” in which, through a collection of paintings, ceramics, and furniture, he proposed a dialogue between contemporary works and historical design pieces. The past is not presented as a fixed reference but as a material constantly reactivated in the present, with paintings by Jean de Gaspary and Camille Cottier, ceramics by Géraldine Cornette de St Cyr, Antoine Marquis, Rousse Céramique, and Basile Boon, and furniture by Pierre Guariche, Oud Architecture, Jean Couvreur, and Isabelle Stanislas. Thus, by bringing together unique works and functional objects, the exhibition affirms a boundary-breaking vision of creation, where art, craft, and design share the same space and time.
