Galerie Kamel Mennour

Kamel Mennour owns and directs Galerie Kamel Mennour, a contemporary art gallery in Paris. In 1999, the first space, at 50 square meters, opened on Rue Mazarine. The gallery, dedicated to modern photography, included works by worldwide artists such as Larry Clark, Stephen Shore, and Nobuyoshi Araki, as well as more renowned artists such as Pierre Molinier. In the meanwhile, the gallery began publishing catalogs to go along with the exhibitions. Kamel Mennour Editions has now produced more than forty catalogs. The gallery acquired international recognition by participating in Paris Photo in 1999, the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain in 2000, and Art Basel in 2003 for the first time.

Since then, the gallery has participated in several of the world's biggest art fairs, including Art Basel, Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain, and Art Basel Miami Beach. Daniel Buren, Claude Lévêque, François Morellet, and Martin Parr were among the first emerging contemporary artists, as well as veteran artists working in many mediums, to be featured in the gallery's programming in 2003. The gallery moved into a new 400 m2 location in the seventeenth-century Hôtel particulier de Vieuville, located at 47 rue Saint-André-des-Arts, in September 2007. It was inaugurated with a solo exhibition by Daniel Buren, which was designed by architects Aldric Beckmann and Françoise N'Thépé. The Rue Mazarine's first space displays distinct initiatives.
