Air de Paris Gallery Closes After 36 Years

Air de Paris, a gallery founded in Nice in 1990 by Florence Bonnefous and Édouard Merino, has announced its closure following a judicial liquidation procedure pronounced on May 4 by the Bobigny commercial court. The gallery had filed for cessation of payments on April 2. Since 2019, it was located in Komunuma, Romainville. Known for a program mixing emerging artists with international figures such as Philippe Parreno, Carsten Höller, and Liam Gillick, its economic model was weakened by a market slowdown. Revenue dropped from €1.9 million in 2024 to €1.2 million in 2025. This closure adds to a series of recent gallery closures in Paris, including ETC, Pascal Lansberg, Clavé Fine Art, High Art, and Isabelle Gounod, all ceasing activity in the past twelve months.
