A Paris-born gallery with downtown New York energy. Perrotin New York brings contemporary art, design culture, colour, spectacle and global artists into the Lower East Side — polished, playful and very connected to the present.

Perrotin New York is located at 130 Orchard Street, in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. It is part of Perrotin’s international gallery network, founded by Emmanuel Perrotin, with spaces in cities including Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai and Dubai.

The New York space sits in one of the city’s most interesting contemporary gallery areas, close to the Lower East Side / Chinatown / SoHo art routes. It offers a different mood from Chelsea or the Upper East Side: more downtown, younger, more experimental and closer to the city’s changing cultural street life.

What you’ll see here

At Perrotin New York, expect temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. The gallery’s programme can move between painting, sculpture, installation, photography, design-inflected practices, pop culture, conceptual projects and visually bold contemporary art.

You may encounter:

  • International contemporary artists
  • Painting, sculpture, installation and photography
  • Colourful, playful or conceptually sharp exhibitions
  • Emerging and established names from Perrotin’s global programme
  • A downtown New York gallery atmosphere
  • A strong stop on an Orchard Street / Lower East Side gallery walk

Worth the trip

Yes — especially if you want New York beyond the big museums and Chelsea mega-galleries.

What makes Perrotin New York special is its mix of global gallery power and Lower East Side energy. It can feel polished and market-facing, but also playful, visual and accessible — a good bridge between serious contemporary art and the image-driven culture of today.

ArtLovers Tip

Visit Perrotin as part of a Lower East Side gallery route. Pair it with nearby galleries, cafés, bookstores and a walk toward Chinatown or SoHo. This is New York contemporary art with less museum gravity and more downtown pulse.

For Artlovers, it is worth including because it shows another part of New York’s art ecosystem: not only where art is canonized, but where it circulates, seduces, experiments, becomes desirable, and enters the global conversation.
