Galerie Taménaga

France, Paris

Founded in Tokyo in 1969 by Kiyoshi Taménaga, Galerie Taménaga successively opened two additional spaces in Osaka and Paris in 1971, then in Kyoto in 2021. Galerie Taménaga is the first Japanese art gallery specialising in the great Western masters. As such, its collection includes many masterpieces by impressionist and modern masters such as Bonnard, Chagall, Derain, Dufy, Picasso, Redon, Renoir, Utrillo, van Dongen, etc. The prosperity of the gallery is intrinsically linked to a history of family and transmission. This is how Tsugu Taménaga joined the gallery in 1990. Like his father, he inherited a great sensitivity and curiosity, and decided to devote himself more broadly to the discovery and support of contemporary artists, following the example of the artists recognised today: Chen Jiang-Hong, Takehiko Sugawara, Kyosuke Tchinaï, Tamihito Yoshikawa, but also the American Tom Christopher, or the Spanish Lorenzo Fernandez. With an active presence at prestigious international art fairs, Galerie Taménaga regularly exhibits the great masters of modern art in its four spaces and actively contributes to the discovery of new Japanese talents. Today, it is one of the major defenders of the current Asian art scene.
