Semiose is delighted to announce that Frédérique Buttin Valentin will be joining its team in the position of director. This new appointment is part of the ongoing development project pursued by the gallery since its move to its new premises at 44 rue Quincampoix (Paris 4th arrondissement) in June 2020.

Throughout a career spanning almost 30 years, Frédérique Buttin Valentin has been widely admired for both her professional and human qualities. In 1994, she co-founded the gallery Chez Valentin, playing a major role in the resurgence of the French art scene, supporting a new generation of artists by exhibiting and collecting their works and contributing to their recognition on an international level. After two years in charge of business development at the Manufacture de Sèvres, Frédérique Valentin will take up her new role at Semiose in January 2022. Recognized for her vision and attention to the curatorial and prospective aspects in the working of a gallery, she will maintain the dialogue that Semiose has always cultivated with artists, collectors and institutions. Her talent and expertise will certainly reinforce Semiose’s prospects for development both in France and internationally and demonstrate its continuing determination in its commitment to the artists it represents.
