What amelie, maison d'art does

amelie, maison d'art is a privately held contemporary art gallery founded in 2015 by Amélie du Chalard and operated through the French simplified joint-stock company Zeuxis SAS (registered capital €10,000). The gallery represents approximately 100 international contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography, ceramics, textile art, and art objects, unified by a curatorial focus on materiality. Its operating model combines an e-commerce marketplace listing roughly 5,699 artworks with the proprietary 'Art Room' concept — furnished apartment-style physical viewing spaces in Paris (18 Rue Séguier, 6th arrondissement) and New York (85-87 Mercer Street, SoHo) where collectors can experience works in situ before purchase. The gallery also runs approximately twelve exhibitions annually, including in-gallery shows and off-site 'hors les murs' presentations at institutional and partner venues.

Revenue is generated primarily as an intermediation service on artwork sales, with the platform facilitating transactions between buyers and represented artists. Secondary revenue streams include e-gift cards, custom framing, installation and hanging assistance, and curatorial consulting for residential and hospitality (hotel) projects. Pricing varies widely by artist, medium, size, and format, with individual works ranging from approximately $600 to over $29,000; the gallery offers interest-free installment payments via Alma and free in-person pickup at the Art Rooms. Distribution combines the proprietary e-commerce site, the two Art Room locations, an Artsy marketplace partnership, a dedicated iOS application, and content channels including the 'La Balade d'Amélie' blog and podcast. The customer base centers on affluent private collectors, with secondary segments in hospitality and interior design/architect-led residential projects. No external funding, M&A activity, or disclosed financials are present in the source material.

Scale indicators4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Artsy: Online art marketplace and collector platform with global network of partner galleries and auction houses. Amelie already lists on Artsy as a partner gallery, and Artsy competes for the same online collector traffic across contemporary art.
• Saatchi Art: Leading online original art marketplace offering paintings, sculptures, and prints to a global collector base. Same core business model as Amelie's e-commerce platform — selling contemporary original artworks to mid-market collectors via direct online purchase.
• 1stDibs: Online marketplace for luxury furniture, art, and decor, serving affluent collectors and interior designers. Overlaps with Amelie's secondary 'Residential Projects' segment (interior designers and architects sourcing artworks) and competes for the same affluent online buyer.
• Artnet: Online art marketplace, auction aggregator, and price database with gallery network. Competes for online discovery and sales of contemporary artworks and is a comparable outlet for the mid-to-higher-end collector segment Amelie targets.

Emerging players

• Art.sy (acquired by Artsy): Historical online art discovery platform; folded into Artsy. Functionally identical marketplace model, validating that online gallery aggregation is a competitive structure Amelie operates within.

Broad incumbents

• Gagosian: World's largest contemporary art gallery with global outposts (New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong, etc.). A broad incumbent Amelie is benchmarked against in scale and prestige, even though Amelie focuses on mid-market rather than blue-chip artists.
• Perrotin: Major international contemporary art gallery headquartered in Paris with locations in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Seoul. Direct geographic overlap (Paris 6th, NY Soho) with Amelie, competing for similar contemporary artists and collectors at a larger scale.
• David Zwirner: Leading New York-based contemporary art gallery with global locations and strong online sales platform. Competes in the same primary-market contemporary segment and shares Amelie's emphasis on artist representation and international reach.
• Sotheby's: Global auction house and private sales platform for fine and contemporary art. Alternative buying channel for the same collector pool Amelie serves, particularly for collectors upgrading from primary-market gallery works to secondary-market and investment-grade pieces.
• Christie's: Global auction house and private sales arm covering 20th-century and contemporary art. Like Sotheby's, an alternative high-end purchase channel for the collectors Amelie targets, with growing online sales capability that overlaps with gallery marketplaces.
