Daniel Delamare (born May 17, 1954) is a French businessman who formerly owned an Art Gallery.[1]
Genuine copies
Delamare started his career in a Paris press agency before launching his own textile business in 1978[2].
Then, he launched an art gallery on the Avenue Matignon in Paris in 1987[3]. "Gallery Daniel Delamare" became notorious for selling "genuine copies" of famous painters including Amedeo Modigliani, Manet, Degas, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne. Daniel Delamare and his partner, Danielle Van Santen, hired 15 painters and each of their copies was said to be unique[4]. Each canvas had stamped on the back “Daniel Delamare - Copy”[5]. Although these paintings were not originals, the gallery rewarded some painters’ descendants with royalties[6]. In 1990, M.Okamura, former CEO of Taihei Sangyo K.K., orders 2000 copies to create the "Daniel Delamare Museum" in Japan. The press valued the transaction at 250 million francs, equivalent to €38 million.[7]
Ironic cartoons
Before he sold his gallery in 1995, he exhibited humorous drawings from French cartoonists (Cabu, Georges Wolinski, Tetsu, Pichon, Soulas, Hoviv, Siné, Trez, Loup [8][9]). Delamare contributed in creating an art market for humorous drawings as these ones were, at the time, considered a "journalistic work".
In 1990, he co-published Traits d'Humour with François Cavanna to present pastiches of impressionists' masterpieces revisited by cartoonists.[10] In 1992, he publishes Daniel Delamare présente 40 ans de Dessins d'Humour et de Presse, a new compilation of ironic cartoons.[11]
Daniel Delamare is now managing his own investment firm specialised in the art industry.
