descriptionFounded in 1945 and located in Paris's 6th arrondissement, the Rive Gauche gallery, managed by Jacques Lefèvre and Rudi Augustinci, showcased artists like Max Ernst, Fernand Léger, and Jean Dubuffet. Known for its innovative boutique layout, it expanded to Rome in 1958 and became a model for gallery design in the 1950s.

The Rive Gauche archives (1943–1978) include administrative correspondence with artists like Jean Dubuffet and Asger Jorn, exhibition materials (invitation cards, catalog models, transport documents), guest books (1946–1978), and artist greeting cards (1960–1968). Sales records (1943–1976) and a press book (1934–1944) provide insights into the gallery’s operations and pre-gallery activities.
