Stephane Custot was born in Paris in 1963, the son of a society dentist and collector of Chinese art. [6] He studied at Panthéon-Assas University between 1983 and 1985.[ citation needed ] In 1987, he joined the Sotheby's Institute of Art in London to study history of art for one year.[ citation needed ]
In 1988, he began working at the Galerie Hopkins [7] in Paris, Avenue Matignon. While working at the gallery, Custot joined forces with Patrick Perrin to create a new fair: the Salon du Dessin. In 1996, Stephane Custot and Patrick Perrin founded SOC (Cultural Organization Society) to support cultural and artistic projects. [8] [9]
In 1998, Emmanuel Moatti joined Custot and Perrin, and they opened the Salon des Beaux-Arts in Paris. This fair became the Pavillon des Antiquaires and Beaux-Arts first installed in the Eiffel-Branly space and then at the Tuileries Gardens. [10]
In 2001, after 13 years, Custot became associate co-director at Galerie Hopkins. The gallery exhibits the work of artists including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Max Ernst and René Magritte, and contemporary artists such as Sam Szafran, Jedd Novatt and Marc Quinn.
In 2007, the Pavillon des Antiquaires and Beaux-Arts became PAD Paris (Pavilion of Arts and Design). The same year, Custot (who in the meantime moved to live in London in 2005) and Perrin exported PAD to London. [11] Located in Hanover Square, the fair presents design pieces from the 1860s to the present day. The fair takes place at the same time as Frieze. [12] In 2011, the fair was exported for the first time to New York from 10 to 14 November. [13] 49 international galleries set up at Park Avenue Armory. [14] A second edition was launched in 2012. However, the fair only had minor success. [15]
Following the departure of Lord Bernstein, Custot bought the shares and became a partner of the Waddington Galleries which became Waddington Custot Galleries. [16] The gallery is located at 11-12 Cork Street, Mayfair in London, and exhibits the work of British, European and American artists. On 30 November 2015, Leslie Waddington died. Custot then became the sole director of Waddington Custot Galleries. [17] [18] Custot brought new artists to the gallery as well as building on the Waddington legacy. He developed the publishing side of the business, producing the first monographs on Barry Flanagan and Jedd Novatt. In 2021, the gallery published the first book on Peter Blake’s work in collage. It was named in Wallpaper magazine's top ten art books for 2022. [19]
In March 2016, Custot opened Custot Gallery Dubai in the district of Alserkal Avenue in Dubai. [20] The gallery represents contemporary artists and participates in a few contemporary art fairs in the Middle East such as Art Abu Dhabi and Art Dubai. [21] [22] [23]
Custot is married to Laurence, a former banker, they have two children, and live in Kensington, London. [6]

Vincent Fournier is a French artist and photographer. His works explore questions of science fiction, utopian stories ,and different mythologies of the future such as the space adventure, humanoid robots, utopian architectures, and the technological transformation of the living. His vision is nourished by childhood memories, including visits to the Palais de la Découverte, which evoke the "scientific wonder". While photography remains his preferred medium, 3D printing, video and installations sometimes accompany certain projects. Vincent Fournier's images are put in tension by oppositions that disturb our gaze: reality/fiction, logic/absurdity, past/future, magic/science, natural/artificial. He explores futuristic fiction and discovers in our present, or in the past, "glimpse of the future". After graduating in sociology and visual arts, he studied at the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles and obtained his diploma in 1997.
