The gallery is specialized into XXth art and Yves Gastou has been devoted, since thirty years, to the discover of avant-garde styles as well as to enlightment of forgotten designers.

In 1985, in his gallery in Paris, realised by the famous architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, Yves Gastou has exhibited for the first time in France the most important designers's creations in the eighties, as Ettore Sottsass, Shiro Kuramata or Ron Arad, and started showing works by Jacques Adnet, Gilbert Poillerat, André Arbus, Maxime Old, Marc du Plantier et Paul Dupré-Lafon,  Michel Boyer, Angelo Mangiarotti, Pierre Cardin, Gabriella Crespi, Joe Colombo, Paul Evans, Maria Pergay, Philippe Hiquily, Ado Chale and Jean-Claude Farhi, along with other designers from the 40's, 50's, and 70's.

The solemnity of the style 40, colored with baroque, neo-classic and surrealist recollections, joining at the same moment the perusal postmoderniste and the tradition of the big French cabinetmaking, so gets involved in the antiques of future. Also, the spatial and playful furniture of the years 60-70, cherishing the dream of a free and relaxed lifestyle, an art democratized thanks to the introduction again materials, as the resin, the brass, the stainless steel, flirts with the vague hippy-chic, where stony geodes adorn tables and lamps of multicolored lights.
Since 1996, the gallery has taken part in the Biennale des Antiquaires, thus contributing to the growing of the 20th century decorative arts.
