CMS Collection was born from the desire of three friends and passionate collectors, Joanna Chevalier, Hervé Mikaeloff and François Sarkozy, to build a joint collection and develop a platform to support contemporary artistic creation. Drawing on their strong experience in the art world, we support artists throughout their artistic careers. The development and production of artistic projects are at the core of CMS Collection's commitment to promoting and recognising the work of its artists. To this end, CMS showcases the work of the artists with whom we collaborate at art fairs (e.g. Asia Now Paris), initiate exhibitions in museums (e.g. Guimet Museum in Paris, Correr Musuem in Venice) and public and private institutions (e.g. Château La Coste in France), and collaborate with international galleries (e.g. PACE Gallery, Mor Charpentier, Laffanour / Galerie Downtown Paris). The artists currently supported by CMS Collection are: Anas Albraehe, Marcella Barceló, Huong Dodinh, Nabil Nahas et Yunyao Zhang.
