Racines<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Mon lien avec l\u2019art africain remonte \u00e0 plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations. La famille David est \u00e9tablie \u00e0 B\u00e2le depuis 1392 ; en tant que ville commerciale, B\u00e2le \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t connect\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019international et \u00e9tait \u00e9troitement li\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019Afrique gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la mission basile.<\/p>\n

Mes parents, Ren\u00e9 et Denise David, ont fond\u00e9 en 1957 la galerie Walu \u00e0 B\u00e2le. N\u00e9s entre \u0153uvres d\u2019art, collectionneurs, marchands, livres et expositions, ma passion pour l\u2019art africain a commenc\u00e9 d\u00e8s mon plus jeune \u00e2ge.<\/p>\n

Les voyages dans les r\u00e9gions d\u2019origine et la rencontre directe avec des objets, des collectionneurs et des professionnels ont marqu\u00e9 mon regard pour l\u2019art et son contexte culturel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Commerce de l\u2019art et monde des ench\u00e8res<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Apr\u00e8s ma formation \u00e0 l\u2019EHL et mes \u00e9tudes \u00e0 la HSG, j\u2019ai choisi de me consacrer au commerce de l\u2019art.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 partir de 1986, j\u2019ai travaill\u00e9 dans l\u2019entreprise individuelle de mes parents. En 1998, j\u2019ai fond\u00e9 la galerie Walu AG. J\u2019y ai con\u00e7u et r\u00e9alis\u00e9 de nombreuses expositions consacr\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019art africain et publi\u00e9 dix catalogues.<\/p>\n

En 2003, j\u2019ai cr\u00e9\u00e9 un nouveau d\u00e9partement consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019art africain chez Koller Auktionen, que j\u2019ai dirig\u00e9 jusqu\u2019en 2014 en tant qu\u2019expert externe. Durant cette p\u00e9riode, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 responsable de 21 ventes aux ench\u00e8res et des catalogues correspondants.<\/p>\n

En 2016, j\u2019ai fond\u00e9 Hammer Auktionen. Depuis lors, j\u2019ai organis\u00e9 avec mon \u00e9quipe plus de 160 ventes aux ench\u00e8res et examin\u00e9, catalogu\u00e9, \u00e9valu\u00e9 et vendu des milliers d\u2019objets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Exp\u00e9rience et expertise<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 mon activit\u00e9 dans le commerce de l\u2019art, je suis sollicit\u00e9 par des tribunaux, des autorit\u00e9s douani\u00e8res et des compagnies d\u2019assurance en tant qu\u2019expert. Je participe \u00e9galement \u00e0 des conf\u00e9rences et publie des textes consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019art africain au niveau international.<\/p>\n

Plus de quatre d\u00e9cennies d\u2019activit\u00e9 professionnelle ont fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 mon regard sur la qualit\u00e9, l\u2019authenticit\u00e9, la provenance et le march\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Cette exp\u00e9rience ne repose pas uniquement sur la litt\u00e9rature sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e et les bases de donn\u00e9es, mais \u00e9galement sur le contact direct avec les \u0153uvres originales, la comparaison de nombreux objets, les voyages, les recherches et les \u00e9changes personnels avec des collectionneurs, des marchands, des chercheurs et des mus\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

L\u2019art africain m\u2019accompagne depuis toujours. Au fil des ann\u00e9es, la curiosit\u00e9 et la passion ont donn\u00e9 naissance \u00e0 une expertise approfondie.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Aujourd'hui<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, je continue de me consacrer \u00e0 l\u2019art africain sous diff\u00e9rentes formes.<\/p>\n

Avec African Art Advisory, je conseille des particuliers et des institutions dans l\u2019\u00e9valuation, la documentation et la mise en contexte d\u2019\u0153uvres d\u2019art et de collections.<\/p>\n

Parall\u00e8lement, je suis commissaire-priseur et expert chez <\/span>Hammer Auktionen<\/span><\/a>, ma propre maison de ventes aux ench\u00e8res. Je g\u00e8re la plateforme sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e <\/span>tribal.art<\/span><\/a> et je suis propri\u00e9taire de la <\/span>Galerie Walu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
