Claire Burrus opened her first gallery called Le Dessin in Paris in 1974. In 1985 it was followed by Galerie Claire Burrus that had the objective of promoting the work of young artists, to which it was offering the opportunity of a first exhibition. Starting with presenting Marie Bourget, Michel Verjux, Felice Varini, Philippe Cazal or Philippe Thomas, the gallery quickly widened its programme to international artists and in the 90s contributed to making known in Europe the work of Charles Ray, Rudolf Stingel, Rachel Whiteread or Angela Bulloch. Claire Burrus is the testamentary executor of Philippe Thomas and devotes herself to this task since the closing of her gallery in 1998. Since 2013 Claire Burrus collaborates with Jan Mot in the representation of the artist.
From the library of... was inaugurated by Jan Mot in 2014 with a selection of books from the library of Seth Siegelaub / Egress Foundation Amsterdam compiled by Marja Bloem. Since then other personalities from the art world have been invited to contribute to the series including Yves Gevaert (August, 2014), Douglas Crimp (March, 2015), Dorothea von Hantelmann (January, 2017) and Andrea Büttner (October, 2018) (see the gallery’s website).
