Gagosian Paris
Paris, France 2009–2010
Client: Gagosian
The Gagosian Gallery in Paris is in the 8th arrondissement near the Champs-Élysées. The project is organized over four levels within a former townhouse. Tall, well-proportioned rooms and floors, made in large slabs of sandstone and oak parquet, ensure that the elegance of the original townhouse is retained in the spaces of the new gallery. The public gallery area is on the ground floor. At the rear of the floor, in the space of the former courtyard of the townhouse, is located a major new gallery space lit by a large central roof light.
All the art spaces within the project provide a tightly controlled environment to international museum standards. The project was undertaken in collaboration with Paris-based architect Jean-Francois Bodin.
