 CHARPENTIER GALLERY    After the dissolution of the company Georges Petit Galleries, prestigious auctions are held in the Hotel Jean Charpentier. Other exhibitions are held in these places as the first Salon of New Realities. In 1941, a posthumous exhibition of the works of Émile Bernard is proposed to the Parisian public. In 1948 Raymond Nacenta becomes owner of the gallery, and new exhibitions and memorable auctions are organized.  At the beginning of the 1960s, the City of Paris granted the Parisian auctioneers advantageous conditions for renting the Palais Gallièra, which became the fashionable place for prestigious art exhibitions. Subsequently, the former premises of the Charpentier gallery were the Paris headquarters of the company Fives-Lille, which showed its mastery of the use of steel by installing instead of the gallery particularly standardized offices. At the end of the 1980s, the rooms on rue du Faubourg were rented to Pierre Cardin, who set up a restaurant there. Established in Paris since 1967, the auction company Sotheby's chose in 1988 this building to install its offices in Paris.
