about us

MiMo Gallery's name abbreviates Mid-century Modern and our focus is on 20th century movements in furniture design and decorative arts. The range of our collection spans from art deco, bauhaus, mid century modern and 70's futuristic. We also collect and sell op art and pop art pieces. Our merchandise are originated from France, Italy, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and the USA.

Gabor Újvari and Beatrix Barbara Bikali, proprietors of the gallery are certified appraisers with fifteen years of experience in the modern antiques business. They recently moved to Palm Springs, California from Europe.

The newest residents of Palm Springs, who tend to be younger nowadays, have acquired an appreciation for mid-century modern architecture which is part of the sophistication and historic significance of Palm Springs. This tradition of architecture grew out of the aesthetics of the world-renowned German Bauhaus and is reflected in the work of Albert Frey (who designed the Palm Springs city hall, tram station, Movie Colony Hotel and airport), Donald Wexler, Richard Neutra, and other world-famous architects. Restoration projects are now being undertaken all over the city to return these homes and businesses to their original condition. Students of mid-century architecture and design come to the city to study its heritage in this unusual style of the decorative arts.

MiMo Gallery buys and sells furniture, lighting, object of fine and decorative arts, paintings, prints and graphics. We collect and sell works by Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Michel Buffet, Le Corbusier, Maria Pergay, Roger Capron, George Jouvé, Gio Ponti, Victor Vasarely, Lajos Kassák, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe, Finn Juhl, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein among other noteworthy artists, architects, artisans and designers. We also advise and consult in art investment and home decoration, we do research for sought after pieces of designers and lend our collection for commercials or movie production.
