Inside the new Amelie, Maison d’Art: 'I wanted to reinvent the art gallery to be both warmer and more approachable'
The ambitious new Manhattan gallery Amelie, Maison d’Art settles into the Soho neighbourhood.
American fine art dealers shrink from the decorative arts. But the ambitious new Manhattan gallery Amelie, Maison d’Art places paintings on equal footing with ceramics and sculptural modular seating in Soho, the neighbourhood still considered a creative epicentre in New York.
Owner Amélie du Chalard perfected her egalitarian approach to art sales in three immersive locations across Paris. As an investment banker born into an artistic family, and then as a young collector herself, she resisted the chilly atmosphere cultivated by established dealers: 'I really wanted to explore and reinvent the art gallery to be both warmer and more approachable.'
