In the fall of 2012, Gagosian Gallery will inaugurate a bold new gallery space in the north of Paris, at Le Bourget. The unprecedented choice of location in the industrial area of Le Bourget is linked to the discovery of this exceptional space, an industrial building from the 1950s, comprising 1650 square meters (17,760 square feet) on two levels. A mezzanine of 340 square meters (3,660 square feet) overlooks the ground floor, offering the opportunity to exhibit large-scale sculptures, paintings and installations. The gallery has been designed by world-renowned architect Jean Nouvel in collaboration with HW architecture.
