History

The gallery was founded in 2011 by a Swiss art dealer, Frédéric de Senarclens. It occupies 1,100 square metres (12,000 sq ft) in a historic Art Deco building on Armenian Street, in the cultural district of Singapore.[3][4][1] It opened on 3 June 2011 with "Avant Première", which included works by Marc Quinn, Fernando Botero, Fabienne Verdier, Bernar Venet and Shirin Neshat.[3]

Artists who have exhibited at the gallery include Pablo Reinoso,[5][6] Ian Davenport,[7]^{[unreliable source?]} Bernar Venet,[8] Shirin Neshat,[9] Fabienne Verdier,[10][11] Chun Kwang Young[12] and Qiu Jie.[13]

In early 2012 the gallery started its Emerging Artists programme to promote the work of promising artists at an early stage of their career. The programme offers the selected artist a first solo show in the gallery. Siddhartha Tawadey was the first artist to exhibit under this programme.[14]

By 2013 about 35% of the clients of the gallery were from Singapore; some overseas clients visit the gallery. About 25% of sales are made online.[4]
