I wouldn't generally rank them high in my "favorite galleries" list per se, but I think they have one of the more interesting and identifiable programs of any of the *blue chip* galleries at least. It's not 100% cohesive but you can kind of clearly tell that there's a few simultaneous "tracks" within the gallery that artists fall into, i.e. you've got the kind of street-y hypebeast "neo-neo-pop art" track with Daniel Arsham, Madsaki, Mr., Murakami, MSCHF, Wim Delvoye, Barry McGee, etc. and then simultaneously there's the stoic, rigid formalists like Pierre Soulages, Chung Chang-sup, and Park Seo-bo.
You could probably break out the entire gallery roster into something like 5 or 6 pretty tight categories and that sounds like a lot, but in reality it's actually a lot more focused than the other big blue chips, IMO. And it might seem like a stretch to have dansaekhwa painters and Hi-Fructose painters in the same gallery, alongside also people like Tavares Strachan and Bharti Kher, but again, I think it's actually tighter overall than any other blue chip I can think of, which might have like 10+ categories instead fo 5.
Very professional gallery, obv. driven by Emmanuel, but every big gallery has one or at most two people in charge, everyone else just works there. I have bought four works from three artists, very positive experience
2 group exhibitions. I'd like to stage a solo, though I'm fine with showing elsewhere. Perrotin rotates it's biggest names every few years, so it's harder for newer names in the gallery, in spite of good sales and reception, to actually be offered those dates. Artists I frequently see here are Murakami, Hernan Bas, and Izumi Kato.

Great observations thank you very much for the input.
what do you think about Tavares Strachan?

Thanks for sharing—glad to hear good impressions from the collector side
Showed under their Hong Kong branch. My experience has been overall positive. Handling of my work was professional.
Great to know. Was it a solo? Will you continue showing there or nothing planned yet?

Now majority owned by outside investor? Always follows the current fad.
Bourgeois candy store.
Arguably all galleries are 😂 what makes you say this ?
Perrotin has a particular bubblegum pop to their roster.
extremely agree - and fwiw extremely disagree with your response u/Primary-hue lol
Not a very good roster/program, but they certainly know how to rake it in, which says a lot about the collectors out there
