About Us
since 2018
THE HOUSE
Darmo is an art house based in Paris, run by a team of art historians. We pursue two complementary activities: The Darmo House and The Consultancy.
The Darmo House is our work of discovery. We identify contemporary artists whose practice deserves a lasting place in art history, and we bring back into view 20th century artists who were overlooked or forgotten by it. We work with each of them over time, producing exhibitions, residencies, and institutional projects.
The Consultancy supports families, organisations and institutions in building, managing and transmitting their collections. We advise on patrimonial strategy, legal matters, and the development of collections at scale, whether transmitted through generations, built within a lifetime, or intended for a foundation or museum project.
MANAGEMENT
Darmo was founded in 2018 by two partners: Alexis de Bernède, art historian holding a Master's degree from the University of Oxford, and Marius Jacob, art historian with legal training from the École du Louvre and Université Paris-Saclay.
A third partner, Léopold Mazières, joined in 2021, accelerating the development of the Consultancy.
