Julião Sarmento is a Portuguese multimedia artist and painter.

He was born in Lisbon (1948), studied painting and architecture at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts. He began exhibiting film, video, sound, painting, sculpture, installation and multimedia in the seventies, but also developed several significant site-specific projects.

He has exhibited his work extensively in one-man and group shows. Julião Sarmento represented Portugal at the Venice Biennial in 1997. His work is represented in several museums and private collections, including a partial room showing at London's Tate Modern museum.

The work featured is largely collage-based or a combination of collage and sketched images, and range from takes on popular culture to excerpts from a love letter written by James Joyce to his wife Nora entitled Dublin-Trieste 2 December 2009 (featured at the Tate Modern). This is a series of photo-and-sketch-based work inspired by select lines from Joyce's letter. When placed together the viewer reads, "...there is also a wild beast-like craving for every inch of your body, for every secret and shameful part of it, for every odour and act of it..."

Daniel Templon is a French art contemporary and modern art dealer born in 1945. He founded in 1972, the bilingual contemporary art magazine art press with art critic and erotic biographer Catherine Millet.

Templon played a key role to introduce in France international artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ellsworth Kelly, Keith Haring, Willem de Kooning, Sandro Chia, Francesco Clemente, Jörg Immendorff, Roy Lichtenstein, Helmut Newton, Richard Serra and Andy Warhol.

He started his first gallery very young and worked with French avant-garde artists like Christian Boltanski and neo-dadaist Ben. He also started working with a few foreigners. Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Clay Ketter and Sol LeWitt are among them, and so is fellow art dealer Leo Castelli.

Daniel Templon soon became a permanent fixture of the French art establishment adding Arman, Daniel Buren, and Jean-Marc Bustamante to the community of artists he represents- his gallery (see Art Museum, notable galleries list) moved close to the Pompidou Center, 30, rue Beaubourg. Today he reprensents around 40 artists among them alphabetically Valerio Adami, Larry Bell, Ben, Anthony Caro, Jim Dine, Jan Fabre, Gérard Garouste, Raymond Hains, Robert Longo, Jonathan Meese, Joel Shapiro, Frank Stella, and support-surface leader Claude Viallat.
