Meta-Impressionism / other exhibitions

Solo exhibitions

At Durand-Ruel in Paris

1883 onwards

 

Introduction:
In 1883 Durand-Ruel organised a serie of solo exhibitions with works of Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley from February till June. All exhibitions were held at his new gallery at 9, Boulevard de la Madeleine, Paris, which he thus inaugurated (R31,p301;R51,p237). These exhibitions can be seen as an alternative for the ‘impressionist’ expositions held between 1874 – 1886. These solo exhbitions were a way of being promoted for the artists and (indirectly) sell their art-works.
Later on Durand-Ruel organised more solo exhibitions and also small group exhibitions in Paris and New York.
Durand-Ruel also had galleries at 16, Rue Laffitte + 11, Rue le Peletier in Paris.
