Ed ecco l'ennesima conferma che oramai Parigi è la nuova capitale dell'arte in Europa, surclassando Londra e lasciando Berlino in ombra.
La conferma è sicuramente dalla prossima apertura, in 9 rue de Castiglione, della terza sede del gruppo Gagosian che aprirà nei giorni della Fiac, esattamente il giorno prima, il 19 ottobre, con una grande mostra dedicata a Alexander Calder .

More than a decade after Gagosian opened its first location in Paris, I am delighted to announce the opening of a new gallery near Place Vendôme. Paris is an important center for modern and contemporary art, and this space will bring a new dimension to Gagosian’s presence there, while complementing the important efforts of museums and foundations in the City of Lights.

Gagosian is pleased to announce the opening of a new location in Paris on October 19, 2021. Situated at 9 rue de Castiglione, in the 1st arrondissement, the space is part of the historic Hotel Lotti development, built in 1910. The location is steps from Place Vendôme, where Leo Castelli and René Drouin opened the storied Drouin Gallery in 1939, and within walking distance of the Musée du Louvre, Musée de l’Orangerie, and Musée d’Orsay. The architectural design of the gallery was led by Rémi Tessier and features elevated ceilings and 15.5-meter windows that provide a view of the gallery’s interior from the historic arcades.
The inaugural exhibition at rue de Castiglione will underscore the unique visual language of Alexander Calder’s monumental sculpture Flying Dragon (1975), which will be installed in Place Vendôme as part of FIAC Hors les Murs.
