Templon – Paris’s Landmark Contemporary Art Gallery
A landmark of the Paris contemporary art scene, Templon has built an exhibition history stretching back to 1966. Over the decades, the gallery has played an important role in bringing major international artistic movements and artists into dialogue with the French art world, while continuing to develop a broad programme of established figures and contemporary voices. Painting, sculpture, photography, installation and multidisciplinary practices meet across a roster that spans generations and geographies, with artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Robert Longo, Chiharu Shiota, Philippe Cognée, Gérard Garouste, Gregory Crewdson, Omar Ba, Jitish Kallat, Abdelkader Benchamma and Prune Nourry appearing within its wider exhibition history and programme. Today, Templon operates two Paris spaces in the 3rd arrondissement — 30 Rue Beaubourg and 28 Rue du Grenier Saint-Lazare — allowing different exhibitions to unfold simultaneously within easy walking distance of one another.

TLC Paris tip: Don’t automatically choose between Templon’s two Paris galleries. 30 Rue Beaubourg, 75003 Paris and 28 Rue du Grenier Saint-Lazare, 75003 Paris are close enough to work as one contemporary-art stop, yet they can present completely different exhibitions. Check the programme for both spaces before your visit, then continue through the surrounding Beaubourg and Haut-Marais streets for a wider gallery walk.
