La Galerie Paris 1839

Established in 2014, La Galerie strives to be a bridge between East and West and to showcase Asian and western artists such as André Villers and Wang Wusheng. “We want to change the traditional perspective people have of photography,” explains gallery manager Rainbow Kwok. “There are many fabulous artists with a lot of creativity. They tell us stories in a very unique way.” Since photographic works tend to have more than one copy, photographs at La Galerie are more affordable than the average painting. Budding collectors can start here and own the same masterpieces as those in museums.
