Young and dynamic, reflecting its founders, the Alexis Pentcheff gallery is located in Marseille. Its choices are most often guided by the southern light, among the works of talented artists who have approached the Mediterranean shores.
Since its creation, the gallery strives to work in close collaboration with the families or rights holders of most of the artists it presents. Specializing in painting and works on paper from the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, temporary, thematic or retrospective exhibitions are regularly organized in its Marseille space (César, Paul Jouve, Dora Maar, André Masson... have notably been honored in recent years).
The gallery also participates in several major events such as BRAFA or FAB.
Since October 2023, the gallery has been welcoming collectors in its new Marseille premises, a historic house overlooking the sea, in the Malmousque district.

Dear visitors,
Due to the gravity of the international situation resulting from the spread of COVID-19 and in order to protect the health of all parties concerned, we have decided to cancel the 29th edition of the Salon du dessin.
France officially declared a state of health emergency on 24 March for two months and there are still numerous uncertainties regarding the evolution of the pandemic over the coming months. These factors make it impossible to reprogram the Salon before the summer of 2020 and the Salon du dessin, which usually attracts numerous other events in Paris for a week, will therefore not take place this year.
Louis de Bayser, President of the Salon du dessin said “this is a difficult decision to take with regard to all those who worked hard for this edition, but our priority is to protect the health of all our exhibitors, visitors and partners”.
We send our thoughts to all those affected by this epidemic and hope that this unprecedented health situation will quickly change favorably.
