Emmanuel Perrotin founded his first gallery in 1990 at the age of twenty-one. He has worked closely with his roster of artists, some for more than thirty years, to help fulfill their ambitious projects. Perrotin has galleries in Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai and Los Angeles.
Perrotin participates in more than twenty art fairs each year, including Art Basel (Basel, Miami, Hong Kong, Paris +); Frieze (London, New York, Los Angeles, Seoul); the Dallas Art Fair; Expo Chicago; ART021 and West Bund Art & Design (Shanghai); the Armory Show and TEFAF (New York); and artgenève (Geneva).
The gallery has expanded its mission in recent years, most notably through the production of thoughtful editorial content, such as podcast and video, as well as developing a programmatic calendar, which includes panel discussions, education workshops for children, and concerts.
The gallery also publishes catalogues, editions, and goodies, available in its bookstores.
