Leonor Fini, Paris, 1948, by André Ostier
Before Minsky Gallery, Arlette Souhami was at the origin of Dionne Gallery during the 1990s and notably exhibited Julio le Parc, Eduardo Arroyo and Leonor Fini for which Arlette Souhami mounted her first retrospective exhibition in France at the Luxembourg Museum in 1986. For More than 40 years, Arlette Souhami, through Dionne Gallery and Minsky Gallery, has devoted herself to the production of museum exhibitions of Leonor Fini as in Japan in 2005 in four museums (Bunkamura Museum of Art, Tokyo ; Daimura Museum, Umeda ; The Museum of Modern Art, Gunma ; Nagoya City Art Museum, Nagoya), in Trieste at the Revoltella Museum in 2009, or in Sweden in Umea at the Bildmuseet Universitet in 2014 (selection). We have worked for more than twenty years in close collaboration with the Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco to realize exhibitions of Leonor Fini.
