Shaped by Dominique and Arthur de Villepin’s passion for art, Villepin is a new gallery model created by collectors for collectors.


Founded in 2019 in Hong Kong, Villepin is specialized in selected important artists, estates and foundations, advocating their work through carefully curated exhibitions while bridging them with the leading collectors and institutions in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world. Beyond its gallery walls, Villepin also acts as curator for exhibitions in museums and institutions.

Each exhibition at Villepin is based on in-depth scholarship and offers a unique experience to immerse visitors in the life and art of each artist. Previous exhibitions have also produced special bilingual publications that include original essays and curatorial research. Artists presented by Villepin include Zao Wou-Ki, Myonghi Kang, Pierre Soulages, Georges Mathieu and Hans Hartung among others.

As curator and advisor to a close community of collectors, Villepin is focused on education and promoting scholarship of its artists through intimate salons and collaborations with leading institutions, foundations, universities and museums. Through their extensive experience in building close friendships with artists, the father-son partnership aims to share their expertise, encourage dialogue, and support collectors in building long-lasting relationships with artists, who are at the heart of Villepin’s initiatives.

 

Located on Hollywood Road – the heart of Hong Kong’s art district – the new gallery is housed in a three-story building reminiscent of the quintessential French Maison and occupy nearly 2,500 square feet.

Paris, city of culture, is well known for its vibrant diversity when it comes to Art. Art is present everywhere through the Architecture, the monuments, the museums and the lifestyle. Inspired by this diversity, VILLEPIN intends to place the French ‘Art de Vivre’ and flair at the core of the experience, always putting authenticity upfront. As a matter of fact, our spaces reiterate the codes of an old Parisian house, where we suffuse the atmosphere with the spirit of French culture and refinement.
