Galerie Perrotin: A Global Contemporary Art Powerhouse in Paris
Located in the artistic heart of the Marais district at 76 Rue de Turenne, Galerie Perrotin is a pillar of the international contemporary art scene. Founded by Emmanuel Perrotin, the gallery has become a cultural landmark in Paris, known for exhibiting cutting-edge work from a diverse roster of globally celebrated artists.
From bold installations to multimedia works, photography, sculpture, painting, and conceptual art, Galerie Perrotin represents a dynamic cross-section of voices and visions. The gallery frequently hosts solo and group exhibitions by leading contemporary figures, as well as emerging talents pushing the boundaries of modern art. Names like Takashi Murakami, JR, and Sophie Calle have all graced its walls.
Housed in a grand hôtel particulier, the gallery’s sprawling multi-level space offers a serene yet provocative backdrop for art lovers to fully engage with thought-provoking work. It's a place where creative innovation meets intellectual depth—perfect for seasoned collectors and curious newcomers alike.
Nestled along the refined Rue de Turenne, the gallery is part of a vibrant corridor of creativity where contemporary art, fashion-forward boutiques, and thoughtful design coexist. This understated yet influential street provides the perfect context for Galerie Perrotin’s boundary-pushing exhibitions.
Just a few steps away, the Avant-Garde Gallery offers a conceptual dialogue with its blend of antique objets d’art and contemporary experimentation. Meanwhile, beauty lovers will find inspiration at the Yepoda Paris Pop-up, a K-beauty haven that reflects the district’s flair for innovation. For a delicious post-gallery stop, Le Mary Celeste awaits with natural wines and inventive small plates in a laid-back setting. And for those who wish to explore deeper into Paris’s artistic soul, the Musée Picasso Paris is within walking distance—home to one of the world’s most extensive collections of the master’s work.

In addition to its historic Marais location, Galerie Perrotin also operates a second Parisian space on Avenue Matignon, near the Champs-Élysées. This more contemporary, gallery-scale venue presents large-format exhibitions, ambitious installations, and international projects that benefit from a sleek, modern setting. Together, the two locations reflect Perrotin’s dual identity in Paris — rooted in the cultural fabric of the Marais while actively engaging with the city’s global, forward-facing art scene.
