Founded in Paris in 2025, Agar Marteau Fine Art embodies the complementary expertise and shared passion of Lillian Agar Marteau and Louis Marteau. Our gallery specializes in works on paper, creating a curated dialogue between Old Master drawings and contemporary art, complemented by a selection of sculptures, paintings, and works spanning antiquity to the modern era.
Lillian Agar Marteau brings an interdisciplinary approach to the art world, drawing upon her academic foundations in political science and art history. Her experience at Galerie Chenel has provided her with knowledge of the European art market. At Agar Marteau, Lillian specializes in modern and contemporary works.
Louis Marteau contributes his expertise cultivated through years of experience at Parisian auction houses and Galerie Charles Ratton et Guy Ladrière. He refined his knowledge for Old Master drawings through his own venture, LM Galerie, which he operated from 2017 to 2025 and was selected to participate at FAB 2024 as a young exhibitor. At Agar Marteau, Louis continues to exercise his expertise in Old Master drawings, ensuring each work meets standards of authenticity and historical significance.
