Daniel Templon

Daniel Templon (born 1945) is a French contemporary art dealer. In 1966, he founded his first contemporary art gallery in Paris.

Galerie Templon With no artistic background, Templon opened his first gallery in Paris in 1966. He has declared that he got help from Leo Castelli in the early 1970s: "He trusted me and helped me to introduce the works of young American conceptualists and minimalists to Europe, such as Donald Judd, Richard Serra, etc. That was how the gallery became known in the early 1970s, which was a key moment in my career".

In 2022, Galerie Templon announced plans to open a space at 293 Tenth Avenue in New York's Chelsea area, designed by architect Markus Dochantschi's StudioMDA.

Other activities In 1972, Templon co-founded the bilingual contemporary art magazine art press with his partner, art critic and erotic biographer Catherine Millet. He then co founded Art Studio magazine with Ann Hindry in 1986.
