On the occasion of The Winter Show 2026, Boccara gallery is delighted to present a focused group of exceptional 20th-century tapestries, highlighted by Fernand Léger's São Paulo (1953). Conceived from an original design created for an ambitious architectural project in Brazil, this rare Aubusson tapestry captures Léger at the height of his mature style. Bold, confident forms and radiant color are balanced with a strong sense of rhythm between the human figure and the modern world.

Boccara's presentation at The Winter Show celebrates a dialogue between modern art and traditional craftsmanship. The works exhibited are not only visually striking but deeply human, shaped by the hands that wove them and the ideas that inspire them. They are works meant to be lived with, offering a powerful visual presence alongside a lasting sense of history, craft, and modern vision.

This new entity explores the textile adaptation of modern and contemporary works by Calder, Le Corbusier, Léger, Delaunay, Chagall, Vasarely, Alechinsky, Arman and Cathelin, and collaborates with current designers. It also represents Atelier 3, one of the last specialized workshops in Paris, and positions itself as a laboratory of innovation combining traditional know-how and 21st-century techniques.

Located in New York, Galerie Boccara enjoys major visibility on the American market. Present at the biggest international fairs, Design Miami, The Winter Show, The Salon Art+Design, it advises museums and curators. Didier Marien champions a bold vision of tapestry as an avant-garde medium, capable of engaging with the most contemporary forms of artistic creation. His constant commitment to reinventing this ancestral craft places Boccara at the heart of an international movement, where tapestry is regaining its place among the great narratives of art.
