Galerie Louise Leiris

Galerie Louise Leiris was a fine art gallery in Paris established by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler in 1920.[1]

Initially, the business was known as the Galerie Simon. It was named after Kahnweiler's partner, André Simon.[1]

In 1940, the business was turned over to Louise Leiris, who was Kahnweiler's sister-in-law. It was run under her name.[1]

Prominent among the artists who sold paintings through this gallery was Pablo Picasso.

The gallery continued in business for several decades.[2]
