The Minotaure Art Gallery

The Minotaure Art Gallery, created in 2002, is located rue des Beaux-Arts, at the previous address of the famous library which it has kept the name. Its founder, Benoit Sapiro, is fascinated by Russian and Central European artists of the fi rst half of the twentieth century. The intense and passionate action leads by Benoit Sapiro, for over 20 years, is undeniably part of the booming of the Russian art market and of the rediscovery of artists coming from Russia and Eastern Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century.
