Groupe Artémis S.A. is an investment holding company with a portfolio in fashion, art, tourism, publishing, sports, food, and technology. Headquartered in Paris, France, Groupe Artémis was founded by François Pinault in 1992 as a family investment vehicle.^[1]

History

In 1992, the French entrepreneur François Pinault transferred his majority stake in Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (PPR, renamed Kering in 2013) to his new company, Groupe Artémis, created as a family investment vehicle.^[2] Throughout the 1990s, he engaged in a series of prestigious acquisitions.

The 1993 Château Latour acquisition was the first of a series under the Artémis Domaines label.^[3] Artémis acquired the winery René Engel (Vosne-Romanée, renamed Domaine d'Eugénie) in 2006,^[4] the Château Grillet (Condrieu AOC) in 2011,^[5] 1/10 of an acre of the Grand Cru Le Montrachet vineyard from Château de Puligny-Montrachet in 2012,^[6] the Napa Valley Araujo Estate Wines (Calistoga, renamed Eisele Vineyard) in 2013,^[7] and the Clos du Tart in 2017.^[8]

Groupe Artémis has controlled the auction house Christie's since 1998.^[9] Artémis bought the news magazine Le Point in 1997,^[10] the Stade Rennais F.C. in 1998,^[11] the History-focused publisher Tallandier in 1999,^[12] the luxury cruise operator Ponant in 2015^[13] and the Brittany-Japan fusion Breizh Café. The group launched the tech-focused investment fund Red River West in 2017.^[14] Groupe Artémis is an important shareholder in the couture houses Giambattista Valli since 2017^[15] and Courrèges since 2018,^[16] and in the magazine Point de Vue (royal family news) since 2018.^[17]

Groupe Artémis acquired the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2005,^[18] which reopened in 2006 as the first exhibition site of the Pinault Collection,^[19] and the Punta della Dogana, also in Venice, in 2009.^[20] Both buildings were renovated and remodeled by the Japanese architect Ando Tadao.^[21] In August 2016, the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo and Groupe Artémis jointly announced the relaunch of Bourse de Commerce, located in Paris, into a Pinault Collection-branded contemporary art museum.^[22] The new museum contains 32,000 square feet of exhibition floor remodeled by Tadao Ando. It opened in Autumn 2021.^[23]

In September 2023, it was announced Groupe Artémis had agreed to acquire a majority stake in Los Angeles-headquartered talent and sports agency, Creative Artists Agency from American private equity firm TPG.^[24]
