« My passion has always been to make artists’ projects possible. From the beginning, I wanted to give young artists the opportunity to produce their work. I founded my gallery at the age of 21, I have since opened 17 different spaces, always with the aim of offering more and more stimulating devices to the artists. » Emmanuel Perrotin, founder of the eponymous art gallery.
The gallery represents 68 artists and collaborates with 31 others: established artists and estates, but also emerging artists of more than 27 different nationalities.
The gallery organizes about 45 exhibitions a year, and partakes in about 20 international art fairs alongside art galleries from around the world. Perrotin is driven by a team of 150 dynamic collaborators worldwide, including 3 partners and over fifteen directors.
Over the past three decades, Perrotin has exhibited and supported contemporary and modern artists through many collaborative projects. Perrotin has a strong desire to organize cross-disciplinary programs, including conferences, workshops for children, concerts and performances.
Besides the e-shop, the galleries in Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Los Angeles have their own bookshops that offers a wide selection of books on the gallery's artists, as well as publications about contemporary painting, contemporary sculpture, contemporary architecture, contemporary photography, artist monographs, essays on art history, artifacts, posters, or postcards.
