ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH: JULIETTE ROCHE
Overview
For its first participation in Art Basel Miami 2025, Pavec gallery is delighted to present a retrospective booth dedicated to the artist Juliette Roche (1884–1980) in the Survey sector of the fair.
This new project offers an overview of her career and places her at the heart of the major avant-garde movements of the twentieth century. It brings together a selection of masterpieces produced between 1911 and 1940. Visitors will discover a wide range of themes: Parisian public gardens, portraits of women of her time, the Ramblas of Barcelona, Cubist still lifes, and the vibrant energy of New York City.
Juliette Roche’s career is shaped by constant boldness and a singular ability to reinvent herself. Trained by the Nabis painters Maurice Denis and Paul Sérusier, she began by depicting Parisian scenes before moving on to explore subjects related to gender, identity, and modernity. In 1915, she embraced Cubism in Barcelona alongside her husband, Albert Gleizes. After settling in New York in 1917, she became actively involved in the Dada movement and collaborated with Francis Picabia and Marcel Duchamp. She took part in the first exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, where she presented remarkably radical Dadaist works. Back in France in the 1920s, she co-founded Moly-Sabata with Gleizes, the country’s first artists’ residency.
A truly unclassifiable artist, Juliette Roche embodies the pioneering spirit of early 20th-century women in the arts. At a time when art history is reassessing the contributions of women, this presentation at Art Basel Miami 2025 offers a valuable opportunity to celebrate the singular vision of a committed artist whose concerns remain strikingly relevant today.
