Request for Question Clarification by scriptor-ga on 16 Dec 2002 09:11 PST

Dear kirstco,

So far, I have not been able to locate a dealer or gallery in the USA
offering any original work of Fabienne Arietti. However, I could
provide you the address of Mme. Arietti's studio in France. If there
is a most reliable source for original works of art, it's the artist
in person. But I will not post this as an answer yet since you
requested explicitly a contact in the United States. Should you be
willing to contact Fabienne Arietti to negotiate over purchasing one
of her paintings directly from her, please let me know and I will
provide you contact information.

Best regards,
Scriptor

thanks for your reply. i believe i found her contact info as well last
nite on google, however would like to compare your info to mine. i
sent an email, so hopefully will hear something soon. if you have a
phone number, i'd like to try to call. thanks again. kirstco

Dear kirstco,

This is the contact information for Mme. Arietti's studio I got as a
result of my research:

Fabienne Arietti
Atelier
4, avenue Sibelle
75014 Paris
France
Phone: +33(0)1 45 89 19 85 
E-Mail: Arietti@wanadoo.fr

I cross-checked this information I got from an art website using the
official French phone directory, and I found it confirmed. Some
sources still mention a different address for Mme. Arietti's studio,
but I suspect this to be out of date:

Fabienne Ariette
Atelier
Villa Carot 
2, rue d'Arcueil
75014 Paris
France
Phone (atelier): +33(0)1 45 42 28 17

Dear kirstco,

An additional update you might find very helpful and interesting. My
Fellow Researcher, aceresearcher-ga, has just received this message:

From: "Ariel SIBONY" <info@sibman-gallery.com> 
To : aceresearcher 
Subject : Paintings by Fabienne Arietti 
Date : Tue, 17 Dec 2002 

We are Fabienne ARIETTI's gallery and exclusive dealer, located in
Paris. We are the only gallery where she shows her works but we really
want to promote her art especially outside France.

I do not know where you saw her paintings but the original works are
of unusual thechnical difficulty: she actually uses a very old
technique, that of the classicla Dutch masters: each painting is made
of a minimum of 100 layer of oil varnish (glacis in French) so that
one thinks this is a work on wood or on leather because of the
thickness. This technique alloows her to create numerous subtle colour
shades and delicate light effects. She spends an average 6 months on
every painting beacuse she has to wait until each layer dries before
she can put the following one.

I remain at your entire disposal and look forward to hearing from you
soon.

Best regards, 

Olivier WALTMAN

Thank you very much to acereseacher!

Best regards,

speedy and thorough response. thanks!

You might inquire of Marshall Field's, Chicago. Target (same company)
sells reproductions, and I think that she had an exhibition with the
Galerie Marshall Field some time ago. Marshall Field's can be reached
through Target.com.
