    Founded in Paris in 1989, Almine Rech has become a leading name in contemporary art, with nine locations across Paris (two spaces), New York (two spaces), London, Brussels, Monaco, Shanghai, and Gstaad. The gallery is known for its representation of artists such as James Turrell, John McCracken, and Joseph Kosuth, while also championing emerging talents like Genesis Tramaine and Chloe Wise, and stewarding the estates of figures including Alexander Calder and Antoni Tàpies.


    Over the decades, the gallery has maintained a forward-thinking approach, relocating and expanding strategically to remain at the forefront of the international art scene. Almine Rech is also co-founder of Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso (FABA), which preserves and promotes Picasso’s legacy.
    An Artlogic client for several years, the gallery relies on the platform to support its global operations and collaborative team structure.

    Challenge

    Operating across nine international locations with 75 staff members, Almine Rech required a system that could unify its core business processes across time zones and departments. Before Artlogic, the team faced inefficiencies in inventory and data management, and a lack of a truly centralized system.

    “Having a nimble, cloud-based system for our galleries’ core functions is essential for staff success & executing an ambitious global programme with high quality,” the team noted.

    The gallery needed a solution that would support collaborative work, reduce errors, and increase overall efficiency in both day-to-day operations and long-term planning.

    Solution

    Artlogic provided Almine Rech with a centralized, user-friendly system tailored to meet the specific needs of their global enterprise. Its flexibility and range of features allowed the gallery to develop internal workflows that dovetail seamlessly with other tools in use.


    “One of the best things about Artlogic is its abundance of features & malleability,” the team shared. The gallery made use of key Artlogic features such as saved search forms, advanced export templates, and customized artwork lists—tools that became the foundation of a revamped global inventory management system.


    Equally impactful has been the support from Artlogic’s Account Management team. “They truly listen to our needs & queries—from the most urgent, pressing matters to our ’moonshot wonders’,” said the gallery team, noting how even informal challenges sometimes led to unexpected and highly effective solutions. In one case, a suggestion from their account manager resolved a data input problem that had been costing the gallery time for years.
