Galerie Lelong & Co. – Premier Modern & Contemporary Art in Paris
Galerie Lelong & Co. is one of Paris’s important addresses for modern and contemporary art, bringing together internationally recognised figures and significant artistic practices across painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography and works on paper. Its programme moves confidently between major twentieth-century names and influential contemporary artists, creating the kind of exhibitions that reward slower looking rather than a quick gallery stop. In Paris, the gallery operates two exhibition spaces in the 8th arrondissement: the longstanding gallery at 13 Rue de Téhéran and Galerie Lelong Matignon at 38 Avenue Matignon. Because different exhibitions may be presented at each address, art lovers can easily turn a visit into a two-gallery route through this important Right Bank art district.

TLC Paris tip: Check the exhibition programme for both Paris addresses before you go. Galerie Lelong at 13 Rue de Téhéran, 75008 Paris and Galerie Lelong Matignon at 38 Avenue Matignon, 75008 Paris can present different exhibitions at the same time, and occasionally a project can extend across both spaces. If the programme interests you, visit both rather than choosing only one — they also fit naturally into a wider Avenue Matignon and 8th-arrondissement gallery walk.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Galerie Lelong is worth checking at both Paris addresses, as the exhibitions are not necessarily the same. The Avenue Matignon space is particularly easy to include in a wider gallery walk through the 8th arrondissement, while Rue de Téhéran also houses Lelong Editions. Check the exhibition programme before setting out so you know which artists and works are showing at each location.
Galerie Lelong & Co. is one of Paris’s most respected destinations for modern and contemporary art, known for its long-standing commitment to intellectually rigorous, museum-level exhibitions. The gallery has played a defining role in shaping Paris’s international art dialogue, presenting works that move fluidly between historical depth and contemporary experimentation.
Representing major figures such as Pierre Soulages, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Jannis Kounellis, the gallery’s program spans painting, sculpture, photography, and conceptual practices. Each exhibition is carefully curated to create a dialogue between iconic modern movements and forward-thinking contemporary voices, appealing equally to seasoned collectors and curious cultural explorers.
The gallery’s refined architectural setting — understated, elegant, and quietly powerful — encourages slow looking and reflection. A visit here fits naturally into a cultural itinerary that may also include Grand Palais, Petit Palais, or a walk along the Champs-Élysées, placing Galerie Lelong & Co. at the heart of Paris’s artistic and architectural axis.
Just moments away from Avenue Montaigne and the Palais de l’Élysée, the gallery embodies a discreet, intellectual side of Parisian culture — where art is experienced with depth rather than spectacle. For those seeking a meaningful encounter with modern and contemporary masterpieces, Galerie Lelong & Co. remains an essential stop, curated with care by TLC Paris Concierge.
