Waddington Custot Gallery Succession Plan Advances with Paris Expansion

Waddington Custot, a prominent London gallery, is preparing for leadership transition while expanding to Paris. Victor Custot, son of founder Stéphane Custot, has been appointed board director and is actively involved in the gallery's operations. His early art world experience includes selling a Barry Flanagan sculpture to an American collector during Art Basel Miami Beach. Stéphane Custot, currently in Hong Kong, noted his son's natural charm facilitated that initial sale. The gallery maintains its historic London presence on Cork Street while developing future plans in the French capital. This strategic move combines generational succession with geographic expansion for one of London's established commercial art spaces.
