Born in 1971 in Paris, Carole Korngold, after studying literature and art history, began trading in antiques and contemporary works of art in the 1990s. In 2021 she opened a space dedicated to contemporary art on rue de Grenelle in Paris, which she presents in the spirit of an amateur's cabinet where the encounters between works of art and objects are unexpected.
Since her studies at the Ecole du Louvre, Carole Korngold has continued to express a very eclectic aesthetic commitment and to invent a particularly original universe of expression.
An antique dealer at 24, seeking the sensitive trace of the hand, the part of the gesture, the path and the process where emotion resides, she naturally finds a place among the artists with whom this unique place is being built today, as if it were obvious.
Her gallery is inspired by an aesthetic of modesty, of imperfect beauty to leave room for the revelation and expression of contemporary artists belonging to very diverse fields, from sculpture to painting, or photography, gathered in a personal laboratory dedicated to metamorphoses. In parallel with this approach, her eye is practiced in exhibitions that she stages in unusual, museum or historical places that are entrusted to her. She develops her art of rapprochements which allows to identify the pleasure of the necessity of looking at art as an essential vital impulse.

These lines from the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben inspire Carole Korngold, who sees her role as a smuggler as an exercise in seduction that is not exactly innocent, gently flattering, but a demanding path that leads to essential questions.
Silent lives intrigue her, or better, interest her. She sees herself as a missionary of their mysteries, certain that poetry is indispensable.
even if she doesn't really know what for.
It is suspected that chiaroscuro is her preferred light. Darkness emits a radiance in her that she imposes as broad daylight.
In his approach to reality, the fragment surpasses the whole, the trace has the force of affirmation. The intriguing thing flatters his curiosity as a philosopher.
whose casuistry is a vital necessity.
To reassure herself, she seeks the comfort of aesthetics. All the choices she makes have the false lightness of soothing contemplation.
The art she defends, while it remains questioning, is not aggressive and does not adhere to any militant school. Her biases have an easy eclecticism, but weave family ties. The viewer of her proposals recognizes himself in the common registers and artistic arguments used by all the artists she discovers. The calendar of her exhibitions can be heard as an eternal echo,
as they are twin approaches...
