Established: 1997
Almine Rech opened her first gallery in Paris in November 1989, featuring an exhibition of James Turrell’s Space Division work. In April 1997, the gallery was formally established in its current iteration. Since then, Almine Rech has grown into an internationally recognized gallery known for its commitment to minimal, perceptual, and conceptual practices. Early collaborations with James Turrell, John McCracken, and Joseph Kosuth established its reputation for rigor and independence.
Over the following decades, the gallery expanded strategically to Brussels, London, New York, and Shanghai, while maintaining its strong Parisian foundation. Each new space reflects a deliberate step toward deepening relationships with artists and collectors while preserving the gallery’s vision.
The program is anchored by enduring relationships with artists such as James Turrell, Joseph Kosuth, Jeff Koons, Ha Chong-Hyun, Richard Prince, Ryoji Ikeda, and Larry Poons, alongside estates including Pablo Picasso, Tom Wesselmann, and Günther Förg. A new generation—Claire Tabouret, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Chloe Wise, Vaughn Spann, Genesis Tramaine, Ewa Juszkiewicz, Ali Cherri, Oliver Beer—adds fresh voices to this dialogue, reinforcing the gallery’s commitment to originality and excellence across painting, sculpture, installation, and new media.
Almine Rech champions artistic freedom as a vital force in society. Its mission is to support artists with clarity, coherence, and long-term commitment, presenting exhibitions across its international spaces and at leading fairs such as Art Basel, TEFAF, and Frieze. Through Almine Rech Editions, the gallery also produces prints, catalogues, and monographs, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of critical artistic discourse.
