The Maeght Gallery opened their doors in Paris in December 1945 with an exhibition dedicated to Henri Matisse. As from 1946, Bonnard, Braque, Marchand, Rouault, and Baya held their first exhibitions there. In 1949, the gallery hosted “The First Masters of Abstract Art,” showcasing the Andry-Farcy collection from the Grenoble Museum

In 1956, Paule and Adrien Maeght opened their own gallery at 42 Rue du Bac in Paris with an exhibition of works by Alberto Giacometti. The gallery introduced a new generation of Maeght artists: Kelly, Cortot, Bazaine, Derain, Tal-Coat, Palazuelo, Chillida, Ubac, and Fiedler. They were joined in 1966 by Bacon, Riopelle, Tàpies, Rebeyrolle, Bury, Adami, and Monory.

In 1964, Adrien Maeght founded the publishing house ARTE in Paris, which has since produced all Maeght publications. Maeght Éditeur has published more than 12,000 titles.

Today, the Maeght Gallery and the publishing house are managed by Isabelle Maeght. Exhibitions feature works by artists such as Miró, Calder, Braque, Matisse, Chagall, Tàpies, Chillida, Gasiorowski, Rebeyrolle, Monory, Del Re, Depin, Doerflinger, Couturier, and Levy.
