Mayfair’s Art Pulse Quickens as Perrotin Moves into Claridge’s
A five-star hotel lobby isn’t the first place most expect to find the next big art destination, but Claridge’s in London is about to flip that script. By early 2025, the renowned Perrotin gallery will take over the hotel’s freshly revamped 3,700-square-foot ArtSpace, placing it right in the heart of Mayfair’s gallery scene. This move isn’t just about location—it’s a nod to Perrotin’s long-standing ties with the UK art world, and a return to the city just as Frieze London draws global attention.
Perrotin’s London debut comes with a sense of poetic timing: the gallery’s history with Damien Hirst, whose work inaugurated Claridge’s ArtSpace, dates back to Hirst’s first commercial shows with Perrotin in the early ‘90s. Now, as the gallery prepares to showcase the estate of British sculptor Lynn Chadwick, it’s clear that Perrotin’s London chapter is set to blend legacy with fresh momentum. In the world of contemporary art, sometimes the most prestigious addresses are found where old glamour meets new vision.
