A dialogue of forms.
These three figures from the Thule culture—ancestors of the Inuit—seem to be contemplating an aurora borealis, embodying the raw power of minimalism.

For the 25th anniversary of , it felt right for Galerie Flak to return to its historic setting: 8 rue des Beaux-Arts, its home for decades, now reimagined as designer Harry Nuriev's own universe. Our ancient artifacts step into his design, his space, his vision, a striking confrontation between two worlds. A rare chance to see the ancient world with a resolutely new eye.

A sun of its own. ☀️✨
Time is running short at the bastide. Look closely at this Papuan shield: its bold sunburst pattern, in bright yellow and white, seems to catch the Provençal light and hold it, glowing quietly from within.

The art of the encounter, in absolute intimacy.
The most exclusive rendezvous on the international art market is returning to Paris in September.
Following last year’s unforgettable edition at the Pagode de CT Loo, is moving to a spectacular new venue. From September 18th to 20th, 2026, the doors of the Hôtel de La Trémoille—the private residence of the Ambassador of Serbia—will open for a select few.
Far from the hustle and bustle of public fairs, this confidential salon is designed as a sanctuary. Here, invited collectors, interior designers, and curators can discover a highly curated selection of exceptional works—paintings, sculptures, tribal art, and design—displayed within a majestic historic setting usually closed to the public.
A highly privileged experience, designed purely for contemplation, conversation, and the true connoisseur.

More than an exhibition, it is a privileged moment of conversation, passion, and discovery in Aix-en-Provence.
