Earth Angel: Jean Dubuffet Exhibit Opens at Acquavella Galleries

Staff Writer
April 16, 2026

Palm Beach residents and art enthusiasts have a new cultural highlight to explore with the opening of "Earth Angel: Jean Dubuffet" at Acquavella Galleries. The exhibition, which originally debuted in April 2016, brings a significant collection of works by the influential French artist to our community.

Acquavella Galleries, a prominent fixture in the Palm Beach art scene, is hosting this retrospective of Dubuffet's unique artistic vision. Known for his raw, untamed style and his coining of the term "Art Brut," Dubuffet's work often challenges conventional aesthetic norms, drawing inspiration from art by children, psychiatric patients, and untrained artists.

The exhibit offers a rare opportunity for locals to engage with a diverse range of Dubuffet's pieces, showcasing his distinct approach to texture, form, and subject matter. This presentation underscores Palm Beach's growing reputation as a hub for world-class art and culture, building on its legacy as a winter playground for the elite.

Residents are encouraged to visit Acquavella Galleries to experience this compelling collection firsthand. The gallery is located on Palm Beach's prestigious Royal Poinciana Way, lined with the namesake trees that add tropical elegance to the boulevard, and further details regarding visiting hours can be obtained directly from the gallery.
