Founded in 2003, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff opened with a solo show by Clemens von Wedemeyer, in a very small space in Belleville in East Paris. Most represented artists made their debuts with Galerie Jocelyn Wolff. In 2006, the gallery moved to a larger space in the same neighbourhood, rue Julien-Lacroix. As the gallery grew, the neighbourhood of Belleville developed into the most dynamic and vivid scene for emerging galleries in the city.
In October 2019, the gallery opened a space in the common project Komunuma in Romainville (Grand Paris). In 2020, we've decided to focus all our activities, and to move the office and exhibition space to Romainville.
Initially focusing on revealing emerging artists, the gallery gradually engaged in the promotion of key historical artists as Franz Erhard Walther, William Anastasi and Miriam Cahn. With a strong interest in sculptural and pictorial practices, the gallery has always tried to promote different mediums including video installations and performances.
The gallery participates in art fairs such as Art Basel, Art Basel Hong Kong, Frieze Masters London, Frieze Seoul, Artissima, Paris+ by Art Basel, ArteBA Buenos Aires, ARCO Madrid, MiArt Milan, Independent NY, Westbund Shanghai, ART Singapore.
