Founded in 1983, Thaddaeus Ropac has galleries across Europe and Asia, located in London, Paris, Salzburg and Seoul.

Specialising in contemporary art and representing over 60 artists, the gallery supports and showcases the careers of some of the most influential artists today with a wide-ranging programme of over 40 exhibitions curated at the six extensive and historic gallery spaces each year.

Thaddaeus Ropac also represents a number of renowned artist estates and continues to build on their legacy, as well as providing curatorial expertise, acting as consultant to major museums and public institutions and advising private and corporate collections. Active in both the primary and secondary markets, the gallery also represents its artists at all major international art fairs. We run our own publishing house, producing catalogues and books to accompany exhibitions, contributing to new scholarship and a wider art-historical discourse by inviting prominent art historians, curators and writers to collaborate.

Thaddaeus Ropac’s galleries, which span a total of 12,000 square metres, are located in London at Ely House, a five-floor listed mansion in Mayfair that was formerly the Bishop of Ely’s London residence; in Paris both in the Marais and an extensive early 20th-century ironworks factory in Pantin, which was redeveloped to accommodate the display of large-scale artworks; in Salzburg at the Villa Kast, a 19th-century townhouse in the Mirabell Gardens in the historic centre and Salzburg Halle, a converted industrial space close to the city centre; and in Seoul, in the heart of the thriving cultural district of Hannam-dong, occupying the ground and first floors of an outstanding architectural landmark: the Fort Hill building.
