\n\tNew York\u2013based gallery Salon 94 will expand its footprint to Paris, where it will open a permanent space facing the Jardin du Palais Royal on October 18. Located at 30 Galerie de Montpensier, the 323-square-foot space will be inaugurated by a solo exhibition for Deborah Roberts, running through November 28.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cArtists really led us to think about a space here,\u201d Fabienne Stephan, Salon 94\u2019s European director who will be leading the space, told ARTnews<\/em>. \u201cArtists love presenting their work in the architecture and the history of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the past three years, Salon 94 has been testing out the Paris market, hosting exhibitions at different spaces near the Palais Royal. The first two, staged in collaboration with Devals gallery, were solos for Kennedy Yanko in 2023 and Marina Adams in 2024, while last year\u2019s group show was also staged at 30 Galerie de Montpensier, when it was the Paris outpost of Villa Atrata, a gallery in western France.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cParis has been wonderful,\u201d Salon 94 founder Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn said in an interview, noting that Yanko\u2019s exhibition resulted in a solo show at the Cit\u00e9 de l\u2019Architecture et du Patrimoine this year that is part of Art Basel Paris\u2019s public program. \u201cThey came, they looked very carefully, they bought. So, the test worked for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGreenberg Rohatyn also found in Paris a welcoming environment to show both art and design, the latter of which is the focus of Salon 94 Design. \u201cThe city treats art and design as one conversation. It\u2019s in the DNA of the city itself, so that also works for us and our program in Paris,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond the recent pop-up shows, Salon 94 and Salon 94 Design also have a history with French and Paris-based artists, representing the estate of Niki de Saint Phalle and Rick Owens Furniture, which is managed by his partner Mich\u00e8le Lamy. At Design Miami Paris, the gallery will show Owens\u2019s work alongside furniture and bronzes by Alberto and Diego Giacometti, as well as pieces by Peter Schlesinger, Urs Fischer, and F Taylor Colantonio.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen thinking of where to set up shop, Greenberg Rohatyn said the gallery was looking for an \u201cintimate space\u201d that would be centrally located. They considered some of Paris\u2019s gallery clusters, like the Marais and Avenue Montaigne in the 8th arrondissement, but ultimately settled on the Palais Royal, which offers a \u201cvery Parisian experience.\u201d Though commercial galleries might be only slightly farther afield, the Fondation Cartier, the Louvre, and the Bourse de Commerce are all steps away.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPart of Salon 94 has always been to take a pilgrimage somewhere,\u201d Greenberg Rohatyn explained. \u201cWe really do like this idea of discovery\u2014that the body moves through a city or the streets in order to find us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also noted that the Paris space will be visible from the street 24\/7, a callback to Salon 94\u2019s previous space on the Bowery, which featured an external screen that was activated by artists like Marilyn Minter and Takeshi Murata. \u201cI love this idea of rubbernecking when you pass by something and then you have to turn back and go see it again,\u201d Greenberg Rohatyn added.<\/p>\n

\n\tChoosing a more modestly scaled space also gives Salon 94 more flexibility in terms of its program, according to Stephan, who noted that exhibitions at the much larger New York space are often in the works for at least two years. \u201cWe wanted to have an exhibition space that allowed us and the artists to react quickly\u2014and it could almost function like a teaser for New York for a larger show later,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cArtists can achieve a lot in a small space,\u201d Greenberg Rohatyn added, noting that one gallery artist has already reached out with a vision for a spring show in the Paris space. \u201cIt\u2019s not only intimate; it\u2019s the type of space that you can take in one breath or one glance at first, and then, of course, [find] things hidden around.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRoberts\u2019s upcoming exhibition will feature several of her signature collage-based works, including What the water kept <\/em>(2026), which lends its name to the exhibition\u2019s title. The first work that visitors will encounter, What the water kept<\/em> features a Black girl wearing a fish-patterned top standing under an umbrella.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat\u2019s very special about Deborah\u2019s show is that she has thought a lot about this crossing of the Atlantic,\u201d Greenberg Rohatyn said. \u201cThe young girl, as she makes her crossing of the Atlantic, with all of the history from the perspective of a Southern Black woman, she\u2019s protected this time by the umbrella.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
