Galeries Estades - ESTADES Gallery

30 years devoted to the love of Art

“Passion is not too strong a word to describe what has always driven my work. Above all, I am an art lover and a collector. I acquire and exhibit in my galleries the works I would have wished to keep in my own private collection. My greatest reward is to see others share in my discoveries and in the expertise I have built over the years.”

Michel Estades

A respected name in the international art world

Galerie Estades embodies a distinctive vision of modern and contemporary art. For each artist, Michel Estades selects the most significant works with the trained eye of a passionate collector. Few gallery owners demonstrate such personal commitment by acquiring the works they present.

Each year, around twenty exhibitions shape the gallery’s programme, offering tailored guidance to informed art lovers and demanding collectors seeking to combine aesthetic pleasure with long-term value.

Galerie Estades permanently showcases major 20th-century masters – Buffet, Cocteau, Dufy, Fassianos, Mathieu – alongside leading figures of the Provençal and Lyon schools. True to its role as a discoverer of talent, the gallery also highlights emerging painters and sculptors.

Present at leading art fairs in France and internationally, Galerie Estades maintains close relationships with public and private institutions, auction houses and financial partners. The gallery also curates exhibitions in prestigious venues, including luxury hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants.

Several long-standing artists represented by the gallery – Jehan, Jouenne, Chanco, Fusaro, Malle – rank among the most highly valued artists in France and benefit from growing international recognition.
