Perrotin Tokyo is pleased to announce the opening of Perrotin Salon Tokyo this July, in the Piramide Building in Roppongi where the existing gallery and its associated store are located. Situated adjacent to the Roppongi Hills complex, with Mori Art Museum a stone’s throw away, the building serves as a hub of art galleries and related offices.
The concept for the Perrotin Salon derives from the salon culture in 17th and 18th century France, during the Age of Enlightenment. The salon was a private social gathering in which guests of varied social backgrounds discussed the arts, philosophy and politics, exchanging fresh, liberal and radical ideas, eventually contributing to the rise of the Enlightenment. As such, Perrotin Salon aims to provide a space for open exchange and inspiration.
The inaugural exhibition, a group show, will run from July 2 to August 31.
