The gallery
Emmanuel Perrotin founded Galerie Perrotin in 1990 at the age of twenty-one. Since then, he has opened over twenty different spaces, aiming to offer increasingly stimulating environments for artistic creation. He supports artists, some for over thirty years, in the development of their most ambitious projects. Galerie Perrotin is present in Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Los Angeles. The total area of all its spaces is approximately 8,000 square meters.
In Paris, Galerie Perrotin is located in Le Marais: it occupies 76 rue de Turenne, in an 18th-century mansion since 2005, and since 2007, it is also at 10 impasse Saint-Claude, totaling nearly 1,600 square meters over three levels. In the same street, the Salle de Bal, a showroom of 700 square meters, was inaugurated in 2014 in the Hôtel d'Ecquevilly, also known as "du Grand Veneur," dating back to the 17th century. In June 2020, the gallery opened a new space of 70 square meters on Avenue Matignon in western Paris. Overall, the galleries in Paris cover 2,550 square meters.
In May 2012, Perrotin Hong Kong was inaugurated at 50 Connaught Road Central, covering 650 square meters on the 17th floor, with a breathtaking view of Victoria Harbour. In 2020, Perrotin Hong Kong relocated to K11 ATELIER Victoria Dockside, on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront.
From 2013 to 2016, Galerie Perrotin New York was located in a historic location on the Upper East Side, on the iconic Madison Avenue. After three successful years, the gallery moved in April 2017 to 130 Orchard Street, occupying a 2,300 square meter space in the heart of Manhattan's most dynamic neighborhood: the Lower East Side, including a large bookstore showcasing editions and books published by the gallery.
In 2016, Perrotin opened a gallery in Seoul in the Jongno-Gu district, facing the residence of the President, the Blue House, and Gyeongbok Palace. In August 2022, Perrotin inaugurated Perrotin Dosan Park, in the heart of the new cultural and luxury district, where the Horim Art Center, the SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation, Hermès, Louis Vuitton Seoul, and two major Korean auction houses are located. The building, with two floors and an exhibition space of approximately 250 square meters, was designed by KIAS (Kentaro Ishida Architects Studio) in collaboration with Yoki Design and Kenny Ho.
In June 2017, Perrotin opened a 140-square-meter gallery in Tokyo, on the ground floor of the Piramide building at 6-6-9 Roppongi Minato-ku Tokyo, in the heart of Roppongi, a district with numerous museums such as the Mori Art Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art, and the National Art Center (Art Triangle Roppongi), and important galleries. After expansion work in 2019, the gallery now covers 230 square meters.
In 2018, Perrotin opened a new gallery in Shanghai, located in the heart of the Bund district. The gallery occupies the top floor of a historic brick building known as the "Amber Building" at 27 Huqiu Road. Built in 1937, this building was a former warehouse used by the Central Bank of China during the Republican period. Covering an area of 1300 square meters, the gallery has several exhibition spaces and a mezzanine area, showcasing the building's original elements.
In 2024, Perrotin inaugurated a gallery in Los Angeles, in the former Del Mar Cinema located at 5036 West Pico Boulevard, in the Mid-City district. Key elements of the historic building, including the pediment and light panels, the ticket office, showcases, and the main hall, have been preserved and adapted as exhibition spaces. The original neon sign of the Del Mar has been restored, as well as the pediment announcing the gallery's programming. The blue and gray striped motif unifies the building with bold graphics, echoing the legacy of billboards and advertising that punctuate the urban boulevards of Los Angeles (architect Johnston Marklee and interior designer Jamie Bush + Co.). The two buildings, both dating from the 1930s, total 930 square meters.
Galerie Perrotin participates in more than twenty fairs a year including Art Basel (Hong Kong, Basel, Miami, Paris +), Frieze (London, New York, Los Angeles, Seoul), Dallas Art Fair, Expo Chicago, Art021 & West Bund Art & Design (Shanghai), The Armory Show, TEFAF New York, Art Genève...
The gallery's offer has diversified in recent years, notably through the organization of conferences, workshops for children, concerts, as well as the production of videos and podcasts.
The gallery also publishes books, editions, and artist prints, available in each of the Perrotin bookstores.
