gallery portrait: Emmanuel Perrotin, Paris Miami

Emmanuel Perrotin, born 1968, opened his first gallery in his apartment in the middle of Paris, at a time when Paris was still regarded as a sleepy place regards fresh contemporary art. "Many rich people led their lavish exhibition spaces such as a salon-gallery in the 19th Century, "remmerbers Perrotin. He had another, strictly international strategy: Even in the beginning of his now very successful career as a gallery owner, he took part in art fairs in New York, Tokyo and Basel, brought fresh and provocative work in the French capital, by Maurizio Cattelan for example, by Takashi Murakami , Mariko Mori , Sophie Calle , Wim Delvoye and not at least Damien Hirst .

With resounding success, now he resides with his expansive gallery in the prestigious Parisian Rue du Turenne, and his list of artists puts together the creme de la creme of the currently trendy and high respected art producers. There is now a branch with high light areas in the district of St. Claude, where rather large-scale installations can be presented. It was only in 2005 Perrotin dared the jump across the pond, positioned itself but deliberately not in the art mecca New York or Los Angeles, but in Miami, Florida, where just the Art Basel had arrived. many potent collectors from the northern U.S. have their second home and where trendsetters Mera and Donald Rubell operate their own museum. Perrotin has stepped up as one of the first gallery of world-class forces with the design. He certainly is not shy to promote his activities with events of great public appeal: So he provided his rooms in summer of 2009 during the Tour de France to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for a group exhibition of contemporary artists on the theme "Fight against Cancer”.

Participates at the Art Brussels 2010 contemporary art fair.
