The operator of the exhibition was the Société de Salon des Tuileries , founded on June 14, 1923 , whose first president and co-founder was Albert Besnard . Other founding members were Vice President Antoine Bourdelle , Edmond Aman-Jean and Charles Despiau . The first exhibition conceived by the architect brothers Gustave and Auguste Perret took place in 1923 in the barracks at the former Porte Maillot in Paris . The locations of the following exhibitions changed. The salon accepted representatives of various artistic movements and teachings. The works were divided into thematic groups. The exhibition in 1924 benefited from the non-participation of many artists such as Marc Chagall , Mela Muter , Alice Halicka or François Zdenek Eberl at the Salon des Indépendants . The last time the salon took place was in the winter of 1961–1962.
