The gallery was founded in 2011 by a Swiss art dealer, Frédéric de Senarclens. It occupies in a historic Art Deco building on Armenian Street, in the cultural district of Singapore. It opened on 3 June 2011 with "Avant Première", which included works by Marc Quinn, Fernando Botero, Fabienne Verdier, Bernar Venet and Shirin Neshat.

In early 2012 the gallery started its Emerging Artists programme to promote the work of promising artists at an early stage of their career. The programme offers the selected artist a first solo show in the gallery. Siddhartha Tawadey was the first artist to exhibit under this programme.
