A2Z Art Gallery

Specializing in contemporary Asian art, A2Z has, for the past fifteen years, championed a vibrant and diverse scene shaped by dialogues between cultures and territories. Committed to promoting emerging artistic scenes, the gallery has built a true bridge between European and Asian art worlds, actively helping these voices gain visibility on the international market.

Through collaborations with major institutions — including the Musée Cernuschi, the Musée Guimet, the Centre Pompidou, the Fondation Antoine de Saint Exupéry, and the K11 Art & Cultural Centre — A2Z has become one of the key actors in contemporary Asian art, supported by a widely recognized international presence.

As a genuine space for exchange and encounter, A2Z Art Gallery is dedicated to bringing communities closer together and fostering collaboration and research in partnership with institutions, universities, and various cultural stakeholders.

After visiting many artists’ studios from Beijing to Chengdu, the duo opened a 500-square-meter space in Les Lilas, near Paris, to introduce French audiences to the vitality and diversity of contemporary Chinese art, then still little known in France. Conceived as an open and experimental venue, it hosted ambitious exhibitions featuring video, installation, and graphic art.

A year later, A2Z Art Gallery moved to Ivry-sur-Seine, where Anthony and Léa Ziwei Li-Phuong treated the exhibition space itself as a medium, reshaping it for each project in bold and unconventional ways. In 2011, they began participating in art fairs, and in 2014 they opened the gallery’s current 300-square-meter space, spread over five floors, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés at 24 rue de l’Échaudé, creating a place for contemplation, discovery, and exchange for all audiences.
