Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière

What Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière does

Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière is a Paris-based contemporary photography gallery founded in May 2011 by Clémentine de la Féronnière. Located at 51 rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile in the 4th arrondissement, the gallery represents approximately twelve international photographers including James Barnor, Martin Parr, FLORE, Peter Mitchell, Juliette Agnel, Guillaume Zuili, Marco Barbon, Mikiya Takimoto, and Jesse Willems. The gallery hosts roughly five exhibitions per year, maintains online viewing rooms, and operates an integrated publishing house (Maison CF) with an adjacent bookshop that opened in 2021. Since 2017 the gallery has extended into photographic archive management, beginning with the conservation and representation of James Barnor's life and work.

The business generates revenue primarily through direct artwork sales of limited-edition photographic prints, with pricing tiered by edition size and format (ranging from approximately 240 EUR for small editions to 14,000 EUR for large formats). Supplementary revenue streams include photography book publishing through Maison CF, sales at international art fairs (Paris Photo, Art Paris, Photo London, AIPAD, 1-54, Manifesta, Art Antwerp, Luxembourg Art Week, Offscreen), and archive management services. The customer base consists of private collectors, museums, and institutions including LUMA Arles, FOMU Antwerp, Museum Dr Guislain (Ghent), the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Fondation Verbeke.

The technology stack is industry-standard for galleries: the Artlogic platform powers the website, inventory management, viewing rooms, and online sales, while Stripe processes e-commerce transactions. The gallery operates as an independent private entity with no external investment, parent company, or disclosed funding. It is a member of the Comité des galeries d'art Paris, New Artscene, and participates in the Rencontres Arles festival and the annual Parcours Saint Germain event. The gallery is bilingual (English/French) and targets a global collector base while maintaining a single physical location in Paris with an 8-person team.
