OFFICIELLE showcases young galleries whose exhibition programs demonstrate a remarkable aptitude for deciphering and promoting the most recent trends in contemporary art. It emphasizes not only the discovery of emerging artists and galleries, but also as the
rediscovery of artists who have played the role of father figures or visionaries for the younger generation.
