Galerie Papillon

Created in 1989, it has been more than 30 years since Galerie Papillon, located in Paris near the Centre Pompidou, is esteemed for its cutting-edge program that brings together French and foreign artists – both emerging, established and mid-career – sharing a common sense of poetry and irony. The gallery offers them a vast playground in its 250 m2 main space “sur cour”, while its second space on the first floor is dedicated to spotlight presentations or more exclusive invitations.
Two generations of gallerists, Marion and Claudine Papillon are collaborating and complementing each other, sharing the same unvaried values and vision that define the unique identity of the gallery: offer artists an environment of freedom so they can give free rein to their creativity.
The commitment towards artists and the role of the gallery extend beyond the walls of the space itself. Marion Papillon is President of the French Professional Committee of Art Galleries since 2019 and founded Paris Gallery Weekend in 2014.
