Nestled in the heart of Fitzrovia, London, the Laure Genillard Gallery has been a cornerstone of the city's contemporary art scene since its establishment in 1988. Located just a stone's throw away from Tottenham Court Road, the gallery has been instrumental in fostering dialogues between various artistic generations and their highly diverse practices.

The gallery's mission is to engage both selective audiences and a wider, inquisitive community. Its exhibitions feature a wide array of artists, from established names who have maintained a long-standing relationship with Laure Genillard, to young and emerging artists whose work aims to transcend commonplace categorisations. The gallery's programme is driven by a desire to foster 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 Laure Genillard Gallery has a dynamic relationship with independent curators, who help generate additional content such as publications, film screenings, artist talks, and live performances. The gallery first opened its doors 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, it has been located in 2 Hanway Place since 2007.

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

The gallery's history is marked by a series of notable exhibitions, each contributing to the discourse of contemporary art in its unique way. From the early exhibitions of Narcisse Tordoir and Lesley Foxcroft in 1988 to more recent showcases of artists like Nicol Allan and Pauline Julier, the gallery's commitment to presenting thought-provoking and boundary-pushing art remains unwavering.

The Laure Genillard Gallery continues to be a vibrant part of London's art scene, providing a platform for artists to showcase their work and for audiences to engage with contemporary art in a welcoming and stimulating environment. Its rich history and ongoing commitment to fostering artistic dialogue make it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts in London and beyond.
