Goupil & Cie
Goupil & Cie is an international auction house and merchant of contemporary art and collectibles. Jean-Baptiste Adophe Goupil founded Goupil & Cie in 1850. Goupil & Cie became a leading
art dealership in 19th-century
France, with its headquarters in
Paris. Step by step, Goupil established a worldwide trade in fine art reproductions of paintings and sculptures, with a network of branches and agents in
London and other major art capitals across Continental Europe as well as in
New York City and
Australia. ''Les'' ''Ateliers Photographiques'', their workshop north of Paris, in
Asnières, was instrumental in their expansion from 1869. The leading figure of Goupil & Cie was Jean-Baptiste Adolphe Goupil (1806–1893). His daughter Marie married the French artist
Jean-Léon Gérôme.
