THE VERY HONEST GALLERIST<br />
200 Benjamin Derouillon & Stéphanie Darmon<br />
Galerie Derouillon, Paris, @galeriederouillon<br />
200<br />
1. Describe your gallery in one sentence for an art world newbie.<br />
S: Young and fresh with family atmosphere. In a nutshell: a young talent-scout gallery.<br />
2. Most gorgeous artist<br />
in your gallery program?<br />
Project 3 by<br />
Przemek Pyszczek<br />
B: We are pretty lucky they are all gorgeous.....<br />
Seriously!<br />
3. Whom would you love to sell an artwork to?<br />
B: Last year we met Leo at an art fair in LA, I am sure Stephanie would<br />
have loved to sell him a work. Ahahah.<br />
4. What drinks are you serving<br />
at an exhibition opening?<br />
S: That’s Benjamin's issue now because<br />
I am constrained to have soft drinks for<br />
6 more months ;)<br />
5. The coolest event you<br />
ever hosted?<br />
S: Alex Foxton’s last opening was pretty cool! Lots of friends<br />
came and we had a really nice evening with very good vibes.<br />
6.What is the dress code for the staff?<br />
B: No dress code, except Stephanie is asking me sometimes to be<br />
less casual.<br />
S: I am trying to match my outfit with the works on opening nights<br />
- and some jumpsuits for regular days.<br />
7. What are the most hated/loved jobs of your interns?<br />
Hated = make new pdf, update the pdf...make new pdf, update the pdf.<br />
Loved = Studio visits and preparing new projects with artists.<br />

8. Does hot staff help selling better?<br />
9. Most used apps or websites used daily by the gallery?<br />
Instagram, for a beautiful showcase; Google, your best friend for any question.<br />
B: Ask Stephanie, with no doubt one of the<br />
most gorgeous gallery directors in Paris!<br />
S: Ask our collectors ;)<br />
12. Best lunch spot for a client meeting?<br />
10. Compare the gallery to a brand - which one would it be?<br />
S: We have our own branded shirts, tape, bags and even tools ... so Galerie Derouillon.<br />
11. How many works did you sell via an instagram post?<br />
B: Some, but it’s still more a communication tool than a market place even if I already sold a full show by Instagram and WhatsApp.<br />
B: Elmer, a restaurant next to the gallery, our canteen.<br />
S: Probably at home in the flowery patio! Since I moved in<br />
the same street as the gallery, it`s a one minute walk only.<br />
