Located in a 17th century hotel at rue de Turenne in central Marais, the elegant building and garden, and the spacious exhibition halls add to the glamour of one of Paris’ most influential contemporary art galleries. The legendary galeriste Emmanuel Perrotin founded his first gallery at the age of only 21, and as rumor has it, in his kitchen! With great taste, ambition, and hard-work, monsieur Perrotin now has his galleries in six mega cities around the globe.
The gallery represents all A-list artists, from native french master Pierre Soulages, to internationally renowned Maurizio Cattelan, Sophie Calle, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Xavier Veilhan, Takashi Murakami, to the popular street artist/photographer JR… This wide range of artists with different styles concretes the dominant position of galerie Perrotin in the art market, and their space in le Marais gives visitors chances to see the trendiest art.
The gallery changes exhibitions every three months. Perrotin Paris now welcomes paintings of nature and flowers with vibrate colors and energy by the 82 years old south Korean artist Kim Chong-Hak, nicknamed “the painter of four seasons”; ceramic arts of Japanese sculptor Otani Workshop, just the cuteness and sweetness we need for a spring day; as well as installations of Jean-Michel Othoniel who makes glass bricks looking on fire! Don’t forget to visit the bookstore, with publications, souvenirs and original arts only for you !
