Christian Berst – art brut

The galerie christian berst art brut is internationally renowned as a key player in its field. Since 2005, while also exhibiting established classics, it has been primarily noted for its contemporary discoveries, which it plays an active role in bringing into institutions (MoMa, Metropolitan Art Museum, etc.).

In 2021, works by 50 of the artists it represents will have been incorporated into the Centre Pompidou’s collections.
In order to introduce an ever-wider public to the mysteries of art brut – a field that knows no formal, geographical or historical limits – the gallery regularly participates in international fairs (FIAC, Paris Photo, artgenève, etc.) and is distinguished by the publication of over 80 bilingual catalogues.

In 2020, the gallery opened a second space – the Bridge – where curators are invited to express their own vision of the fertile dialogue between art brut and other categories of art.
In May 2022, Christian Berst co-directed, with Raphaël Koenig, the Cerisy colloquium devoted to art brut.
