HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC - Highlights BRAFA 2026

The HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC Gallery is delighted to take part in the 71st edition of BRAFA for the fourteenth consecutive year.

On this occasion, the gallery will present a selection of Post-Impressionist, Fauvist, and Modern works, bringing together some of the most significant names from these pivotal artistic periods. 

Among the major works exhibited will be an exceptional painting by Émile Othon Friesz, dating from 1907, a vibrant testament to Fauvism at its height; an intimate Fauvist canvas by Henri Manguin from 1908, depicting a woman undressing; and a luminous work by Théo Van Rysselberghe, also from 1908, exemplifying the radiant Neo-Impressionist aesthetic of the time. 

The presentation will also feature a compelling dialogue between Francis Picabia and Victor Brauner, two leading figures of Surrealism. The works, coming from a private collection held within the same family for over thirty years, reveal the deep friendship and artistic affinity between the two artists. Picabia’s portrait of Brauner resonates with one of Brauner’s own compositions, forming a coherent and profoundly engaging ensemble. 

Completing this presentation is a poetic and monumental “Arbre à Cocons” by Charles Macaire. In this hand-crafted paper sculpture, the artist celebrates the beauty of gesture and the nobility of craftsmanship. Entirely shaped by hand, the piece embodies the meeting of artistic creation and artisanal savoir-faire, extending the dialogue between nature, material, and poetry.

ABOUT

The gallery, founded by Hélène Bailly Marcilhac in 2007, has been located at 71 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris since 2015. The gallery HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC curates four to five thematic exhibitions per year, each conceived as a dialogue between artists, artworks, and techniques. Each of these exhibitions is accompanied by a catalogue that brings together research and essays written by our specialists. We also collaborate in enriching museum collections by selling or lending to institutions such as the Musée d'Orsay, the Fondation de l'Hermitage, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Singer Laren, and the Palazzo Reale. HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC recently published the Catalogues Raisonnés of Léon Pourtau and Henri Delavallée and contributed to the development of the latest volume of Francis Picabia's catalogue raisonné.
