The Charles Ratton and Guy Ladrière Gallery has been located in the “Carré Rive Gauche” for around forty years, first on Rue de Beaune and then at 11 Quai Voltaire, but has existed for several decades on the Right Bank, at 14 Rue de Marignan.
Charles Ratton began his career in the aftermath of the Great War and quickly acquired an international reputation as a dealer and expert in both medieval and primitive art. He also worked closely with contemporary art, organizing the first “Surrealist Exhibition of Objects” in 1936.
With Guy Ladrière, the gallery’s interests extend to the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including sculptures, objets d’art, as well as paintings and drawings. These interests are shared by his daughter, Sandrine, who joined the gallery in 2001.
The gallery has regularly participated in the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris and the Foire Internationale des Antiquaires de Belgique in Brussels. For several years, it has organized exhibitions of sculptures, paintings, and drawings in its expanded premises on Quai Voltaire.
The gallery has participated in Fine Arts Paris since its inception.
