Thaddaeus Ropac are a group of galleries founded in 1981 by the Austrian gallerist Thaddaeus Ropac and has since specialized in International Contemporary Art.

The group has galleries in Paris Marais, Paris Pantin, Salzburg and London.

History

Lienz and Salzburg

The gallery was founded 1981 as "Galerie Thaddäus J. Ropač/ Edition Rotha" in Lienz, Austria. It opened a gallery in Salzburg in 1983, first located at the Kaigasse 40, and then moved to Villa Kast in 1989, a 19th-century townhouse in Mirabell Garden.

In March 2010, the gallery opened its "Salzburg Halle", an additional exhibition space within an industrial building close to the city centre of Salzburg.

Paris

In 1990, Thaddaeus Ropac opened his primary Paris space in the Le Marais quarter. Ropac hosted an inaugural show featuring American artists Jeff Koons and conceptual artist Elaine Sturtevant, marking a significant expansion in his gallery's reach and influence.

The 55000 sqft Pantin location opened in October 2012.

London

Thaddaeus Ropac opened a 16000 sqft gallery branch in the Ely House in Mayfair, London, in Spring 2017.

Seoul

In mid-2021, Thaddaeus Ropac announced plans to open a new space in Seoul’s Hannam-dong district. A second space was added in 2023.

Work and current exhibitions

Since 2005, in partnership with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, Ropac asked Hedi Slimane, Robert Wilson, Sofia Coppola and Isabelle Huppert to act as guest curators and to select a series of the foundation's images for several gallery shows.
