Where Art Lives Between Four Walls.
Galleries are the heartbeat of the contemporary art world. Tarik Talk steps inside — from blue-chip powerhouses in Chelsea to independent spaces rewriting the rules in East London, São Paulo, and Seoul. Every gallery has a story. We’re here to tell it.

GALLERIES WE’VE VISITED
Galleries We’ve Explored.
From blue-chip institutions to radical independents — these are the spaces shaping contemporary art right now.
NEW YORK
Gagosian Gallery
The titan of the contemporary art world. Tarik sits down with artists shown at the gallery’s global spaces to unpack what it means to be represented by the world’s most powerful dealer.
LONDON
White Cube
London’s most iconic gallery space — three locations, global reach. We explore the artists who’ve made White Cube synonymous with contemporary British art and global ambition.
PARIS
Galerie Perrotin
Emmanuel Perrotin built something rare — a gallery with genuine warmth. From KAWS to Maurizio Cattelan, we go inside the story of Paris’s most playful serious gallery.
BERLIN
König Galerie
A Brutalist church turned gallery. König’s brutal architecture and adventurous programming make it one of Berlin’s most essential art destinations — we step inside.
NEW YORK
Hauser & Wirth
From Somerset to Somerset House — Hauser & Wirth has redefined what a gallery can be. We explore their artist-first model, their Somerset retreat, and their global ambition.
HONG KONG
Pace Gallery
One of the world’s oldest and most prestigious galleries, Pace has been at the forefront of the art market for six decades. We talk artists, architecture, and the Asia Pacific expansion.
THE ART WORLD’S GREAT CITIES
Gallery Cities.
From Chelsea to Mitte, Mayfair to Gangnam — Tarik Talk has spent time in the gallery districts that shape the contemporary art world. These are the cities where the conversations happen, the deals are made, and the movements begin.
New York
Chelsea. The Lower East Side. Tribeca.
New York remains the undisputed centre of the commercial art world — and the city where Tarik Talk has covered more galleries than anywhere else.
Gagosian · Hauser & Wirth · Pace · David Zwirner · Gladstone
London
Mayfair. East London. South Bank.
London’s gallery scene is as layered as the city itself — blue-chip institutions alongside radical independents, all within a short walk of each other.
White Cube · Victoria Miro · Sadie Coles · Lisson · Sprüth Magers
Paris
Le Marais. Saint-Germain. The Seine.
Paris is having a renaissance — galleries are relocating here from around the world, drawn by the culture, the collectors, and the light.
Perrotin · Kamel Mennour · Thaddaeus Ropac · Chantal Crousel
Berlin
Mitte. Charlottenburg. Wedding.
Berlin’s gallery scene is raw, experimental, and fiercely independent — a counterweight to the polish of New York and London.
König Galerie · Esther Schipper · Sprüth Magers · Neugerriemschneider
Los Angeles
Hollywood. Culver City. Downtown.
LA’s gallery scene is sun-drenched, sprawling, and increasingly serious — with institutions that rival anything on the East Coast.
Gagosian · Blum & Poe · Regen Projects · Night Gallery · François Ghebaly
Seoul
Gangnam. Itaewon. Samcheong-dong.
Seoul has emerged as one of the most exciting art cities on earth — collectors, institutions, and galleries all converging at once.

ART · CONVERSATION · MEANING
Art Doesn’t Ask For Permission. Neither Do We.
Most people experience galleries at arm’s length — you walk in, you look at the label, you walk out. Tarik Talk was built to change that. We go behind the white walls. We sit with the gallerists, the artists, the collectors, the curators. We ask the questions nobody asks on the press release.
Because the art world has always had gatekeepers. And we’ve never been interested in asking them for the keys.
