Biography
Galerie Meyer - Oceanic Art & Arctic Art as it stands today was created in January 1980 by Rita Alix Meyer. In October 1980, his son Anthony joined her and became a junior partner in 1981.
Since then he devoted himself to the fine and early arts of the Pacific cultures monitoring many exhibition catalogues and an important reference monograph on the subject of Oceanic Art. Following his mother' retirement he ran the gallery on his own since 1996.
In 2010 he opened a second department in his gallery dealing in the archaic art forms of the early Eskimo cultures.
