GAM: GALLERY AUT MUSEUM
To play with Latin and English words starting from the title GAM, seen
not only as a name but also as an acronym, was very tempting indeed.
It's a linguistic game that allowed us to summarise in the best of
manners the peculiarity of the "Gallerie d'Art Monègasque which
is in the origin of the name GAM. What we do wish to underline,
however, is the presence of precious Monegasque works in the halls of
the Monegasque gallery, that have been coherently exhibited by
artistic periods in history from 1907 to the late 1950s, just as if
one were to follow a set course in a museum. On visiting the gallery
one may admire the masterpieces of the most representative artists of
modern art. Picasso with contributions that have earmarked various
periods of his long artistic lifespan. Chagall with works that amply
depict the Russian painter's oneric romanticism or masterworks by one
of the leading fathers of Impressionism Monet, or yet again from
Magritte with his surreal works of art, Sam Francis, Miro, Fontana,
Delvaux, and to mention one more, Paul Klee. We'd like to remember the
latter's famous assertion "art does not reproduce what is visible but
makes visible what isn't," underlining his attitude to art which he
interpreted as not representing reality but as a research capable of
unfolding nature's deepest aspects. All these paintings may be admired
at the Gallerie d'Art Monègasque situated inside the exhibition
rooms of Monaco's Sport's Club as well as other galleries on the
Avenue de la Cote in the Monegasque sovereignty. Naturally, there are
many yacht owners that have such collector's items to adorn their
yachts and have them above all to make their saloons a place to enjoy
sensations that only art can stir up. Marco Fier, the owner of the two
art galleries, loves modern art and is dedicated together with his
collaborators to helping his visitors through the extraordinary course
that the GAM galleries offer.
