Thaddaeus Ropac (galleries)
Thaddaeus Ropac are a group of galleries founded in 1981[1] by the Austrian gallerist Thaddaeus Ropac and has since specialized in International Contemporary Art.
The group has galleries in Paris Marais, Paris Pantin, Salzburg and London.
History[edit]
Lienz and Salzburg[edit]
The gallery was founded 1981 as "Galerie Thaddäus J. Ropač/ Edition Rotha" in Lienz, Austria. It opened a gallery in Salzburg in 1983, first located at the Kaigasse 40, and then moved to Villa Kast in 1989,[2] a 19th-century townhouse in Mirabell Garden.
In March 2010, the gallery opened its "Salzburg Halle", an additional exhibition space within an industrial building close to the city centre of Salzburg.
Paris[edit]
In 1990, Thaddaeus Ropac opened his primary Paris space in the Le Marais quarter. Ropac hosted an inaugural show featuring American artists Jeff Koons and conceptual artist Elaine Sturtevant, marking a significant expansion in his gallery's reach and influence.[3]
The 5,100 m2 (55,000 sq ft) Pantin location opened in October 2012.[4][5]
London[edit]
Thaddaeus Ropac opened a 1,500 m2 (16,000 sq ft) gallery branch in the Ely House in Mayfair, London, in Spring 2017.[6]
Seoul[edit]
In mid-2021, Thaddaeus Ropac announced plans to open a new space in Seoul’s Hannam-dong district.[7] A second space was added in 2023.[8]
Work and current exhibitions[edit]
Since 2005, in partnership with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Ropac asked Hedi Slimane, Robert Wilson, Sofia Coppola and Isabelle Huppert to act as guest curators and to select a series of the foundation's images for several gallery shows.[9]
