Galerie Pierre was established in Paris in 1924 by Pierre Loeb (1897-1964), who spent the years of World War II in Cuba, but returned to Paris and reestablished the gallery in 1945. An exhibition celebrating the gallery, L'Aventure de Pierre Loeb, la Galerie Pierre, Paris, 1924-1964, was held at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Musée d'Ixelles in Brussels in 1979.
