Galerie Lelong & Co.

What Galerie Lelong & Co. does

Galerie Lelong & Co. is a privately-held contemporary art gallery operating as a Société Anonyme registered in Paris. The company represents a roster of more than 40 internationally recognized contemporary artists — including blue-chip names such as David Hockney, Joan Miró, Eduardo Chillida, Jean Dubuffet, Kiki Smith, Paula Rego, and Jaume Plensa — and connects these artists with private collectors and institutional buyers (museums, foundations, public institutions).

The company runs a multi-channel distribution platform. Its physical footprint comprises two gallery locations in Paris (13 rue de Téhéran and 38 avenue Matignon, the latter branded Galerie Lelong Matignon) and a regional gallery in New York (528 West 26th Street, Chelsea). An e-commerce store sells limited edition prints (€600–€5,000), books, and exhibition catalogues (€7–€48) with international shipping to over 100 countries. A dedicated print publishing division, Lelong Editions, produces limited editions and artist monographs in collaboration with international museums. There is no proprietary technology disclosed; the stack consists of standard payment gateways (Visa, Mastercard, Paylib), shipping integrations (La Poste, FedEx, UPS), Google Analytics, and social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), plus a listing on the Artsy online marketplace.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of original artworks (priced via private inquiry), limited edition prints, books and catalogues, and Lelong Editions publications. Customer segments are primarily private collectors and art institutions/museums. Pricing is opaque for original works but unit-priced for the secondary product lines. The gallery also drives collector engagement through international art fair participation. Leadership is led by Jean Frémon as Directeur de la publication.
