Galerie Furstenberg Pre-Columbian American art
Galerie Furstenberg is specialized in Pre-Columbian American art.
Biography
In 2001, Jean Christophe Argillet (CNE expert and SNA member) gave a new direction to the Galerie Furstenberg, opened in 1971 by his parents and specialized until then in prints and surrealism.
In just a few years, it became a European reference, dedicated exclusively to the niche specialty of Pre-Columbian American art.
Its vast space, just off the Place Furstenberg, enables it to permanently present some sixty works from all the cultures of central and southern America, before the Spanish conquest in the 15th century.
