Perrotin

French gallery Perrotin has a reputation for recognising the next big thing in contemporary art, having championed creators such as Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Founder Emmanuel Perrotin opened the gallery’s first location in 1990 at the age of 21, and has since expanded the gallery’s reach to seven other cities across the world, including New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The grandeur of Perrotin’s flagship mansion on Rue de Turenne makes an interesting backdrop for the innovative contemporary art it exhibits. Visitors can reach Perrotin’s other Marais gallery space (10 Impasse Saint Claude) through a connecting door. The gallery’s bookshop is also noteworthy for catalogues, special editions and merchandise from Perrotin artists such as American contemporary sculptor Daniel Arsham and French photographer and street artist JR.
