Galerie Christophe Gaillard

What Galerie Christophe Gaillard does

Galerie Christophe Gaillard is a privately held contemporary art gallery headquartered at 5 rue Chapon in the Marais district of Paris (75003), with a secondary space in Brussels, Belgium. Founded in 2007 and operating with 1–10 employees, the gallery represents and exhibits a roster of established and emerging contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, and performance — with curatorial emphasis on post-war and contemporary movements including Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, body art, and minimalism. Notable represented artists and estates include Richard Nonas, Michel Journiac, Ceija Stojka, Tetsumi Kudo, Hélène Delprat, SMITH, Folkert de Jong, Pablo Tomek, and Nancy Brooks Brody. The gallery also operates an artist residency programme (La Résidence / Le Tremblay) and offers explicit research and succession services for artist estates.

The business generates revenue principally through one-time secondary-market artwork sales to private collectors, museums and institutions, and corporate collectors, with prices negotiated privately. Distribution relies on three channels: physical gallery exhibition spaces in Paris and Brussels, participation in premier international art fairs (Art Basel Basel, Art Basel Paris, Art Basel Hong Kong, BRAFA, Art Genève), and an Artlogic-powered online viewing room. Marketing is event-driven — fair calendar, exhibitions, catalogues, email newsletter, and social media on Instagram, Facebook, and X. Go-to-market is relationship-led with collectors and institutions in Europe (France, Belgium, Switzerland) and selectively in Asia (Hong Kong via Art Basel). The gallery is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
