TEFAF MAASTRICHT: JULIETTE ROCHE

On the occasion of TEFAF Maastricht 2024, Galerie Pauline Pavec is delighted to present a solo show by artist Juliette Roche, featuring major works emblematic of the artist's New York and Dada period, in the new FOCUS section dedicated to artists who have made a significant mark on art history.

Born in 1884 and died in 1980, Juliette Roche embodies the women artist of the early 20th century. Her career covered the years 1906 to 1950. Her rich and varied work is marked by important events such as her encounter with the Cubist group in 1913, which led to her marriage with Albert Gleizes in 1915. That same year, the couple moved to New York, where Roche was introduced to the Arensberg circle by Marcel Duchamp. It was during this American period that she took part in the activities of the Dada group and became close to Francis Picabia. Her return to France in the 1920s was marked by the enrichment of her work with various publications.

If the avant-gardes of the early 20th century are an inexhaustible source of rediscovery, the work of Juliette Roche is one of the most striking examples : beyond her mission to protect the works of her husband, the cubist painter Albert Gleizes, Juliette Roche is today recognized as an artist in her own right, whose pictorial work was a unique experience of synthesis between the post-impressionist and Nabis heritage and her experience of the Dada movement.

For TEFAF Maastricht, we are delighted to unveil, among others, exclusive historic works such as Composition à la clef de sol (1918).
