As of June 2025, we no longer sell online
As of June 2025, we will be ceasing online sales and refocusing on the in-store experience. This decision will enable us to better accompany you in your literary and artistic discoveries within our physical space. We invite you to come and discover our selections directly in the gallery, where you can chat with our team and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Peinture Fraîche.

‘Dear Clay’, gathers a selection of spreads extracted from Stéphanie Baechler’s meticulous sketchbooks displayed in chronological order (2013–2019), as well as 35 mm photographs documenting her working process. Providing an intimate insight into her artistic practice, it reveals what facilitates the work from its conception to its making, transportation, and installation. Rather than presenting it as a final staged object, we see the work as something unpolished, unfinished, in flux. Activating this archive of images allows to search for what creates the identity of a work behind the surface of the conventional gallery presentation.
