Paris-based art dealer Kamel Mennour has purchased Galerie Malingue, a gallery established over fifty years ago by Daniel Malingue. The acquisition includes Malingue's 4,300-square-foot exhibition space at 26 Avenue Matignon in Paris's Matignon district. Mennour plans to use the venue to display important historical works from private collections, complementing his gallery's primary market activities and work with artist estates. The new location will host exhibitions featuring modern, post-war, and contemporary artists, with a focus on museum-quality pieces. Mennour, who opened his gallery in 1999, represents approximately forty artists and launched the Mennour Institute in 2023 to support art research and education.
