Paris Dealer Kamel Mennour Buys Galerie Malingue, Founded Over Five Decades Ago
Paris dealer Kamel Mennour has acquired Galerie Malingue and will take over its 4,300-square-foot showroom at 26 Avenue Matignon in Paris’s Matignon district. Mennour said the venue will focus on museum-quality works by modern, post-war, and contemporary artists from private collections, enabling monographic and thematic exhibitions and dialogue across generations. Galerie Malingue was founded more than five decades ago by Daniel Malingue and has specialized in Impressionism, Surrealism, and modern and postwar art, with a roster historically including artists such as Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, René Magritte, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Dorothea Tanning, and Vincent van Gogh. Mennour, who opened his gallery in 1999 and represents around 40 artists including Daniel Buren, Douglas Gordon, Camille Henrot, Alicja Kwade, Ugo Rondinone, and Lee Ufan, also founded the Mennour Institute in 2023 to support research and education through fellowships and programs.
