French art dealer Emmanuel Perrotin will celebrate the opening of his first New York branch with an amusement-park- and carnival-themed bash where some of his artists will man interactive game booths.
Galerie Perrotin — which reps contemporary talents including Takashi Murakami and Maurizio Cattelan — is moving into a three-level, 4,300-square-foot space in the Bank of New York building at 909 Madison Ave.
Among the hot artists participating in the carnival party on Sept. 17, we hear, will be KAWS, Daniel Arsham, JR, JeanMichel Othoniel and Johan Creten.
The bash will follow an opening for Paola Pivi’s show “OK, you are better than me, so what?” that will run through Oct. 26.
