Friday Five with Renaud Vuaillat of Twenty First Gallery
Renaud Vuaillat, director and founder of Twenty First Gallery in the TriBeCa district of New York City, joins us for Friday Five.
Renaud Vuaillat, director and founder of Twenty First Gallery in the TriBeCa district of New York City, has had an enviable career with over twenty years of experience. It began at the Serpette flea market in Paris where he specialized in 18th century decorative arts, but Vuaillat quickly became the point person for a large part of the American art market. In 1999, he opened an antiques gallery in the Saint-Germain district in Paris. But a year later Vuaillat’s attention began to turn towards contemporary work, and by 2002 he had created his own line by redesigning historically fashionable pieces into more modern sizes with modern materials. Vuaillat began living between both Manhattan and Paris, selling and consulting, until relocating fully to New York City and opening Twenty First Gallery in 2006. The shift from last century to present day reflects his evolving taste and eye for design and detail, as well as a changing landscape. Today Vuaillat is sharing a few of his favorite things in Friday Five. Image courtesy of The Neue Galerie
