Born in Paris in 1947, Patrice Trigano studied art history at the Ecole du Louvre, philosophy and law. He decided to devote his life to art from a very young age and became expert in art from the Paris Court of Appeal.

In 1973 he opens the Galerie Beaubourg in association with Marianne and Pierre Nahon before setting up his own gallery located 4 bis rue des Beaux-Arts 75006 which he has run from 1981 to today.

Since a few years he is also a writer. He was awarded in 2011 by the Drouot literary critic's Prize  for his novel about Antonin Artaud's life, "La Canne de Saint Patrick".

Presently dealing with both Modern and Contemporary Art, the gallery’s initial interests were in Surrealism, Abstract Art from the 1950’s, Pop Art and Nouveau Réalisme.

Currently the gallery alternates exhibitions of major artists from the 20th century such as Giacometti, Matisse, Michaux, Miró, Picabia, Picasso with exhibitions of internationally renowned Contemporary artists such as Carmen Calvo, Chu Teh Chun, Lucien Clergue, Allen Jones, Mel Ramos, Manolo Valdés and the Arab contemporary artists Meriem Bouderbala and Halim Al Karim.
