While most tribal art events take place in major cities, the Bourgogne Tribal Show makes the most of its rural location.
This fair organised by Gus Adler & Filles was set up last year on the initiative of dealers Bruno Frey, Jacques Lebrat, Laurent Dodier and Anthony Meyer together with Bruno Mory, an art dealer based in Besanceuil, southern Burgundy.
Mory hosts the show in his stone barns in the grounds of his premises where he displays his contemporary art. As founding exhibitor Meyer says: “The reason for locating the fair in the remote French countryside near the borders of Switzerland, Germany and Italy is simply a way to get in touch with what we consider to be a large proportion of collectors that do not necessarily travel on a regular basis to the main city centres of the tribal community.”
