GALERIE TEMPLON

One of France's most influential contemporary art galleries is Gallery Templon, founded by Daniel Thompron. Daniel Thompron, opened this gallery at the age of 21 in 1966. He has discovered and supported artists who produce avant-garde contemporary art since the opening. The works of famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Jean Michel · Basquiat have been exhibited here in the past.

The gallery is about 1 minute on foot from Pompidou Center. The entrance looks like an ordinary apartment, and may be a bit confusing. Push the chime and the door key opens automatically, so press the door and enter.

There is a passage leading to the courtyard as you open the door. Head this way to the gallery.

When we visited, it was in the middle of an exhibition of Pierre & Jill, an artist working in a famous couple with colorful and kitsch portraits. The photographer, Pierre, and painter, Jill, create works of love and passion for pop art.

Exhibition period: January 13 - 2018 - March 10
