Creation and expansion in Paris Emmanuel Perrotin founded Perrotin gallery in 1990. He initially rented an apartment on Rue de Turbigo and then on Rue de Beaubourg in Paris, which he converted into a gallery. The gallery was then based in various locations in Paris before moving to an 18th-century townhouse in the
Marais district in 2005. The gallery participated in the FIAC (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain) in Paris until it closed in 2022. It also participates in Art Paris, Paris+ by
Art Basel, and Asia Now. The Paris gallery welcomes up to 900 visitors daily for certain
exhibitions.
