Galerie Perrotin, founded by Emmanuel Perrotin in 1990, has grown from a single Parisian space into one of the most internationally influential galleries, with locations across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and now the Middle East. Known for its bold vision and long-standing collaborations with artists, the gallery has become a global cultural platform that seamlessly blends scholarship, innovation, and accessibility.
While Perrotin is celebrated for its painting, sculpture, and installation programs, its photography collection deserves particular recognition. From the outset, Emmanuel Perrotin has embraced photography not only as a documentary medium but also as a form of fine art capable of redefining how we see and experience the world. The gallery has represented and exhibited internationally renowned photographers who push the boundaries of the medium, whether through experimental processes, narrative storytelling, or large-scale conceptual works. Photography at Perrotin often enters into dialogue with other disciplines, underscoring the gallery’s commitment to expanding the possibilities of contemporary practice.
Exhibitions dedicated to photography have included both established masters and emerging talents, reflecting Perrotin’s philosophy of fostering intergenerational conversations. By showcasing works that range from traditional photographic prints to innovative digital and mixed-media approaches, the gallery provides a comprehensive view of how lens-based art evolves within the broader field of contemporary art.
The gallery’s international presence also allows photography to resonate across diverse cultural contexts. From Paris to Hong Kong, New York to Tokyo, exhibitions highlight the global relevance of photographic art while offering a platform for local voices. Perrotin’s photography program is further supported by its editorial and publishing initiatives, which include catalogues, books, and editions that give collectors and scholars deeper insight into the artists’ practices.
By insisting on photography’s place within the fine arts, Galerie Perrotin continues to challenge preconceptions and celebrate the medium’s extraordinary ability to capture, question, and transform our perception of reality.
