Yvonamor Palix, Art Historian of French-Mexican origin, founded her first gallery in Paris on 13, rue Keller (Bastille Quartier) in 1990, later she opened a branch in Mexico City on Cordoba, 37 (Colonia Roma). In the Gallery’s adoptive Houston, the exhibits will include established European and Latin American art as well as emerging local artists. Yvonamor’s passion for emerging talent will foster a rich and exciting exhibitions program.
