Templon

Established: 1966

Founded in 1966 by Daniel Templon, Templon gallery has played a key role in developing and structuring the contemporary art scene in France and abroad. Today, with its two spaces in the heart of Paris, location in Brussels, and newly opened Chelsea outpost, Templon counts as one of the most active contemporary art galleries, organizing over 20 exhibitions a year and participating in a dozen of art fairs worldwide, including FIAC since 1974 and Art Basel since 1978. In line with the gallery’s unique history and promotion of French and international artists, Templon’s exhibition program focuses on emerging, mid-career and historical artists long represented by the gallery, such as Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota, Chilean light sculptor Iván Navarro, French artists Prune Nourry and American artists Michael Ray Charles, Jim Dine, Edward & Nancy Kienholz. After spending 6 years developing the Brussels space, Mathieu Templon leads the gallery’s new venture, a space in New York City which opened in September 2022. As he explains, “in a context profoundly reshaped by the pandemic, and the renewed attractiveness of Paris as a cultural hub, it only seemed natural to expand the gallery’s footprint and organize a permanent presence in New York. A large number of our artists do not have American representation or have not exhibited in the US in a long time. Our objective is to give them an opportunity to engage with new audiences and give them the global platform they deserve.”
