A Benchmark for Modern Art in Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Founded in 1989 by Agnès Aittouares, Galerie AB has been established at 5 rue Jacques Callot, in the heart of the Carré Rive Gauche in Paris's 6th arrondissement. Across more than thirty-five years of uninterrupted activity, the gallery has passionately and rigorously championed major figures of Modern Art from 1890 to the present day, with sustained focus on the School of Paris, inter-war avant-gardes, and significant masters of post-war European and international abstraction.
Galerie AB's international reputation rests on an uncompromising commitment to authenticity, artistic quality, and rigorous provenance research. Every painting, drawing, or sculpture presented undergoes thorough documentary examination and is backed by authoritative certificates of authenticity.

The Narayanan Akkitham Retrospective (2026)
From October 1 through November 7, 2026, Galerie AB is presenting a landmark retrospective devoted to Indian painter Narayanan Akkitham (born 1939 in Kerala, living in Paris since 1967). The exhibition gathers 82 major oil canvases created over nearly sixty years (1967–2025). A triple recipient of the Lalit Kala Akademi Award who studied in Jean Bertholle's studio at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Akkitham has crafted a masterly body of work uniting geometric precision with Indian cosmological resonance.
