Galerie MiniMasterpiece

Galerie MiniMasterpiece—founded in the spring of 2012 by Esther de Beaucé—is the first Parisian gallery exclusively dedicated to the edition and sale of jewelry by contemporary visual artists and designers. A piece of artist jewelry, much like a sculpture, is a work of art. Born from the same creative process, it possesses the same strength, poetry, provocation, and occasionally, humor. Only their final destination distinguishes them: the collector's wall or their body.
However, jewelry remains a gesture on the periphery of their main activity as designers or visual artists, even if it incorporates all the codes specific to their approach. This is the great challenge for the creators invited by the gallery and the ambition of artist jewelry in general: to succeed in thinking on an unprecedented scale and for the body, without losing a single bit of their more monumental artistic DNA.
To date, the following artists (selection) collaborate directly with the gallery: Lee Ufan, Julio Le Parc, Françoise Pétrovitch, Jean-Luc Moulène, Franz Erhard Walther, Katinka Bock, Wang Keping, Joana Vasconcelos...

A special focus will be placed on the first piece of jewelry by German artist Franz Erhard Walther.
The necklace created by this major artist on the international scene since the 1960s is an event in itself, as it is the only piece of jewelry ever designed by the artist. Resulting from an exclusive collaboration with MiniMasterpiece gallery in 2026, this brass and gilded silver necklace will be produced in an edition of 50, signed and numbered. It will be accompanied by a wall module also designed by the artist, allowing it to be placed on the wall in a "deactivated" position—that is, when it is not being worn around a collector's neck. A portion of the booth will also be dedicated to presenting the latest jewelry by Katinka Bock and Pierre Charpin.
Other artists collaborating with the gallery will be exhibited, such as Julio Le Parc, Françoise Pétrovitch, Lee Ufan, Jean-Luc Moulène, Marion Vidal, Maïlys Seydoux-Dumas, and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost.
