Curatorial Ethos
The gallery focuses on presenting significant works by major contemporary and modern artists, often featuring large-scale installations and monumental paintings that explore themes of memory, resilience, and the human experience. Its programme includes both commercial exhibitions and support for cultural engagement through museum collaborations and educational initiatives.
Thaddaeus Ropac is a blue-chip commercial gallery with multiple international locations, including its Paris Marais space at 7 Rue Debelleyme. The gallery presents a roster of established and emerging artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Georg Baselitz, Sean Scully, and Ali Banisadr across painting, sculpture, and photography. It operates year-round with regular solo and group exhibitions, alongside public events like artist talks and conversations.

Represented and guest artists exhibiting with the gallery.
Jordan Casteel
Jordan Casteel (born 1989 in Denver, Colorado) is an American painter known for large-scale, intimately observed portraits that centre people of colour within the communities she lives in. She studied at Agnes Scott College and received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2014, followed by a residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Working from photographs she takes of her subjects – neighbours in Harlem, students, passengers in her ongoing Subway Series, as well as family and friends – she paints in saturated, expressive colour, and more recently has turned to landscapes and flowers from her home in New York's Hudson Valley. Her first New York museum solo exhibition, Within Reach, was held at the New Museum in 2020, and she was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2021.
Günther Uecker
Günther Uecker (1930–2025) was a German artist best known for his reliefs and objects made with nails. Born in Wendorf, Mecklenburg, he studied in Wismar and Berlin-Weißensee before moving to West Germany and continuing his studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. From the late 1950s he used nails to model light and shadow on painted surfaces, and in 1961 he joined Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in the ZERO movement, remaining a central figure of the group until it disbanded in 1966. Over a career spanning seven decades he also produced installations, kinetic works, stage designs and books, often responding to political and ecological threats to humanity. He took part in documenta several times, taught at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf for two decades, and designed the prayer and meditation room in the Reichstag building in Berlin.
Irving Penn
Irving Penn (1917–2009) was an American photographer celebrated for his portraits, fashion photography and still lifes. Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, he studied design under Alexey Brodovitch at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art and joined Vogue in 1943, beginning a collaboration with the magazine that lasted more than six decades and produced over 150 covers. Working with spare studio backdrops and natural north light, he photographed artists, writers and cultural figures – famously posed in a narrow corner in the late 1940s – as well as tradespeople in his Small Trades series, people encountered on his travels, and meticulously composed still lifes. A master printer, he revived the platinum-palladium process in the 1960s and 1970s. His work was the subject of major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1984), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017).
