About

Established in 1988, Laure Genillard is a private contemporary art exhibition space in Fitzrovia, London, very close to Tottenham Court Road. With an extensive history in the London art scene, the gallery’s intention is to engage both selective audiences and a wider, inquisitive community.

Exhibiting artists range from the established, many of whom have a lasting working relationship with Laure Genillard, to young and emerging artists whose work aims to exceed commonplace categorisations. The programme is led by a desire to generate dialogues between various artistic generations and their highly diverse practices. It seeks to be impromptu and un-authoritative, with merits that always remain ambiguous.

The space has a dynamic relationship with independent curators that help generate additional content such as publications, film screenings, artist talks and live performances. Laure Genillard first opened in Foley Street in 1988, bringing a keen eye on developments in abstract and conceptual art, elaborating on 70’s minimal art practices and continuing such discourse. From a Clerkenwell location in 1997, since 2007 it is located in 2 Hanway Place.

Laure Genillard has been seminal to the practices of several British artists, whose work first showcased at her gallery, including Catherine Yass, Fiona Banner, Martin Creed, Peter Doig, Gillian Wearing, Simon Starling as well as many artists from the continent such as Maurizio Cattelan and Sylvie Fleury amongst others.
