Exhibition; Meryl Meisler

Thirty years is the sweetest time to open a new chapter, and Lambert Lambert didn’t get this wrong!

To celebrate this anniversary, the Lambert Lambert agency is moving to a new location in the heart of Paris. Carole Lambert and her team have taken over a special place at the far end of a paved, tree-lined courtyard in the Marais. In these premises, which lie almost outside time and are protected from the noise of the world, the agency is not only going to continue its work of supporting talents but also provide a space for unique exhibitions.

For thirty years, Lambert Lambert has supported and directed the work of creative individuals for prestigious brands in the world of luxury, beauty and fashion. Driven by its founder’s curiosity and assured view, the agency has been discovering precious personalities ever since it was founded in 1992. From key photographic figures to already noted young characters, Carole Lambert’s artistic choices always display originality, eclecticism and audacity.

The opening of this space together with the offices now enables her to share her vision with the largest number of people, highlighting individual artists with special approaches. Through four events per year, supported by exhibition curators Fany Dupêchez (Art Photo Projects) for photography and Lumir Ardant- Leverd (Galerie Enrico Navarra) for contemporary art, will enable the public to discover a talent in the visual world, with its power and inspiring history

For the opening of this new address, Carole Lambert steps up at once by choosing to exhibit the work of New York photographer Meryl Meisler in Paris for the very first time. Born in 1951, and inspired by Diane Arbus and Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Meryl studied with the legendary Lisette Model before documenting her own life, her camera strapped around her neck. A clubby by night and a teacher by day, it was not until she retired in 2010 that she started to reopen her extraordinary archives thus creating the event. The exhibition focuses on nights at Studio 54, Les Mouches, and CBGB, among others, as well as on her family parties. Driven by impertinence and humour, Meryl captured moments of intense joy and pure craziness at the start of the disco scene, plunging us into New York in the seventies and eighties, a fascinating city in fascinating times.

Carole Lambert Présente physically enriches thirty years of passion and enthusiasm for the work of artists. Thirty years during which the joy of discovery never once stopped driving its founder and inspiring an anniversary, the point of departure for a new adventure that will come together before our eyes, for our ever- greater pleasure.
