christian berst art brut

Christian Berst Art Brut is a Paris based gallery founded in 2005 that is dedicated exclusively to art brut and related outsider practices. Situated in the Marais, the gallery has played a significant role in redefining how art brut is presented and understood, moving it beyond marginal or ethnographic readings and situating it firmly within contemporary art discourse. Through carefully curated exhibitions, publications, and institutional collaborations, the gallery represents both historical figures and living artists whose work is marked by radical independence, personal mythologies, and unconventional formal languages. Its program has contributed to the growing international recognition of art brut as a vital and intellectually rigorous field rather than a peripheral one.
