"Rachel Rose, an artist known for her video essays dealing with climate change and space travel, had her first solo exhibition ever at the gallery in 2014. She went on to mount acclaimed shows at the Serpentine Galleries in London and the Whitney Museum in New York the next year. Matt Copson, an artist known for his light sculptures, had one of his first solo shows at High Art in 2017. He is now directing a feature film, with Mubi set to distribute it."
"Lucy Bull exhibited her abstract paintings here in 2019, making High Art the first to exhibit her internationally. Her paintings now regularly sell at auction for six figures or more. Creuzet, an artist based in the commune of Montreuil, also had his first solo show with High Art in 2019. He was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp, France's highest art prize, in 2021, then represented France at the Venice Biennale in 2024."
High Art, a Paris gallery founded in 2013 by Romain Chenais, Jason Hwang, and Philippe Joppin, will close its physical space after 12 years. The gallery will reform and transition toward collaborations, offsite exhibitions and individual artworks, with details to be determined. High Art built a program willing to indulge challenging and occasionally unconventional art, becoming a launch pad for many now-prominent artists. Rachel Rose had her first solo exhibition there in 2014 and later showed at the Serpentine Galleries and the Whitney Museum. Matt Copson had an early solo show in 2017 and is now directing a feature film to be distributed by Mubi. Lucy Bull and Julien Creuzet had major early shows at High Art in 2019; Bull's works now sell for six figures and Creuzet was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp and represented France at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
