Biography
Galerie Mitterrand was founded in 1988 by Jean-Gabriel Mitterrand (as JGM Galerie) and is located in a townhouse in Paris’ Marais district. Originally dedicated to showcasing contemporary sculpture, the gallery progressively widened the scope of its programme and focused on exhibiting historically significant artists who began making art from the 1960s onwards.
Since its creation, the gallery served as a platform for international artists in France. It fostered an appreciation for the work of Edi Hila, Allan McCollum, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tony Oursler, Anne and Patrick Poirier, and supported many others. The gallery also collaborates actively with the estates of Carlos Cruz-Diez, León Ferrari, Dennis Oppenheim, Marta Pan, Francisco Sobrino, and Keith Sonnier.
