Art dealer Larry Gagosian has finally lifted the veil on plans his new gallery in Paris, announcing that he will open at the heart of in the city’s "Golden Triangle" off the Champs Élysées on October 20th.

Gagosian’s ninth gallery worldwide takes up home in a former hôtel particulier at 4 Rue Ponthieu, recessed into a building connected to the showrooms of the city's branch of Christie’s auction house. Construction, still ongoing, will yield an exhibition space across about 3,800 square feet on two floors. A spiral staircase will connect the levels, and there will be skylight in the main gallery.

The Gagosian outpost’s location puts it at the center of the the French capital's high-end gallery district, a hop and a skip from Sotheby’s, a quick stroll from the the Hotel Le Bristol (a favorite with collectors), and a punishable stone’s throw from the presidential Palais de l’Elysée.

French architect Jean-Francois Bodin and London's Caruso St. John collaborated on the design of the new gallery. For Bodin, it is the latest in a long string of high-profile museum restorations and interiors that include the Palais Chaillot, the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, and the Pompidou Center. On the gallery scale, Bodin has also designed space for Paris stalwart Yvon Lambert. Caruso St. John previously worked on  Gagosian’s galleries in London and Rome, as well as projects for London's Barbican and Tate Britain.

The Paris gallery will open on the eve of the FIAC modern and contemporary art fair, where Gagosian will have a full booth for the first time. Last year he participated in the fair's Projet Moderne section, a showcase for particularly coveted works of art, displaying Roy Lichtensteins 1963 "Half Face With Collar," which had earlier failed to sell at a Sotheby’s auction. Gagosian has not yet said what he plans to bring to this year’s fair.
