HISTORY
The british sculptor Anthony Caro and the collector Robert Loder set up in 1982 the « Triangle Arts Association » in New York. each year the association organised a « workshop » gathering thirty artists of different nationalities. Temporary homeless in New York, Triangle moved in Marseille, at the fine art school of Luminy, for the « Triangle Artists' Workshop » in 1995. A new association was then emerging in Marseille thanks of the participation of two artists : Alun Williams (member of Triangle New York) and Claire Lesteven, with Bernard Plasse, director of the galerie du Tableau.
Sandra Patron joined Triangle France in 1995 and assumed the direction and the program till january 2007, her departure date for the Art Center of Pougues les Eaux, in the Nievre departement.
On the bounce of her living, Dorothée Dupuis was choosen to these fonctions on september 2007.
