PETER GALLERY Competitors

Galleria Continua is a contemporary art gallery established in 1990 by Mario Cristiani, Maurizio Rigillo and Lorenzo Fiaschi. To date, the gallery hosts exhibitions in seven locations around the world: San Gimignano in Italy, Beijing in China, Les Moulins in France, Habana in Cuba, at St. Regis Rome in Italy, São Paulo in Brazil, and Paris in France. Remaining faithful to a spirit of perpetual evolution and committed to interesting as broad a public as possible in contemporary art, in the course of twenty years Galleria Continua has created a strong identity for itself through its ties and experiences. Galleria Continua is all about a desire for continuity between ages, the aspiration to having a part in writing the history of the present, a history that is sensitive to contemporary creative practices and which cherishes the link between past and future, and between different and unusual individuals and geographies.

MASSIMODECARLO was founded in 1987. It stands out on the artistic scene for some courageous and counter-current choices: giving importance to artists not as well known in Italy at that time, such as John Armleder, Olivier Mosset, Steven Parrino and Carsten Höller. In the following few years Massimo De Carlo gallery’s program included young and prominent artists such as Alighiero Boetti, Cady Noland, Rudolf Stingel, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres. For over 30 years, Massimo De Carlo played a fundamental role in introducing Italian artists to European and American audiences as well as bringing the most interesting voices of American art to the Italian scene promoting the establishment of a vital dialogue between the artists and national and international institutions, promoting also relationships between galleries, critics, curators and collectors. Massimo De Carlo works with versatile artists, successful both nationally and internationally, who work with a variety of media in an extraordinary combination of painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, photography, performance, and video. Over the years, the gallery’s artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Rudolf Stingel, Piotr Uklański, Diego Perrone, Paola Pivi, Yan Pei-Ming, Kaari Upson, Andra Ursuta and Andrea Zittel have all gained international recognition, have been shown in galleries, museums and biennials in Europe and in the United States and have gained an outstanding place into important public and private collections.

Founded in 1966, Galerie Daniel Templon counts as one of the most established contemporary art galleries in Paris. The gallery represents a group of forty international artists and artists' estates. It has two locations in Paris and one in Brussels.
