In her 20s, a postgraduate curating course in Prato led to a placement at the Kunstverein Düsseldorf, where then-director Jiří Švestka saw her potential and charged her with curating light-installation artist James Turrell’s first travelling show. A job as news editor at Flash Art magazine in Milan followed. She came back to London, briefly working for Victoria Miro before Leslie Waddington on Cork Street offered her a full-time job.[1]
After a curating stint at the British School at Rome, Jacques teamed up with Charles Asprey, and in 1998 they opened their gallery, which ran for seven years.[2]
Originally sited in a small townhouse off Bond Street, London W1, Jacques's gallery relocated in 2007 to a 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) space at 16-18 Berners Street opposite the Sanderson Hotel in Fitzrovia. In 2023, the gallery announced plans to move into a three-storey, 560 m2 (6,000 sq ft) space on Cork Street which had previously been inhabited by Lisson Gallery on a temporary contract and was later refurbished by the architect Mike Rundell.[3]
The gallery often holds events and talks in conjunction with the exhibition programme, hosted by curators and critics. The gallery has published books including Lygia Clark, Sheila Hicks, Dorothea Tanning and Hannah Wilke as well as supporting museum monographs on the gallery artists.
Artistsedit
Since opening her own gallery in 2004, Jacques has developed an exhibition program of both unknown and established artists:
Notably, Jacques has worked with the estate of Robert Mapplethorpe since 1999, starting when she was in partnership with Asprey.[15] Her curatorial approach has been on unknown bodies of work by Mapplethorpe such as his early Polaroids from the 1970s and his works and sculptures.
Recognitionedit
In 2019, TimeOut ranked the gallery as one of the top 50 in London. Eddy Frankel said, "This Fitzrovia gallery has some serious art clout, representing the estates of Robert Mapplethorpe and Ana Mendieta."[16]
