In 1987, he launched an art gallery on the Avenue Matignon in Paris [3]. During the first years following the opening, "Gallery Daniel Delamare" mainly exhibited impressionist paintings[4]. One of its main clients was Japanese businessman M.Okamura, former CEO of Taihei Sangyo K.K., who asked Daniel Delamare to enrich his personal collection.

At M.Okamura's request, Daniel Delamare started selling "genuine copies" of famous painters including Amedeo Modigliani, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne.
