Early life and career

Tanguy was born on the French island of Île de Ré.[2] After studying philosophy at Poitiers, she moved to London at the age of 19 and interned at the BBC’s The Culture Show. Whilst working at the BBC, Tanguy was asked to manage a gallery’s stand at the Pavilion des Arts ed du Design (PAD).[3]

At the age of 21 Tanguy managed her first gallery, the Outsider’s Gallery, in London’s Soho district.[4] Tanguy, who was two years into an art history degree at the University of Warwick at the time, dropped out of the course to take up the role.[5]

Two years later in April 2014 Tanguy, along with investor Steph Sebbag, opened the De Re Gallery in Los Angeles.[6]

MTArt Agency

In June 2015, Tanguy founded MTArt Agency. Tanguy has stated she founded the company to provide a better supporting structure for artists outside the traditional gallery model.[7]

MTArt covers their artists’ studio costs, sells their works, implement cultural & commercial partnerships and offers their artists press exposure. In return, MTArt Agency gains commission on each piece the artist sells, and artists give one piece of art to the agency’s private collection each year.[8]

The agency reviews 200 portfolios of up-and-coming artists every month, with the value of the selected artists’ works growing on average 150% in value year-on-year.[9][10] MTArt Agency currently has offices in London and Paris.[11]

Artists that are currently managed by MTArt Agency include French biodegradable mural artist Saype, French AI collective Obvious, David Aiu Servan Schreiber, Delphine Diallo, Claire Luxton, Dejha Ti & Ania Catherine, Elisa Insua, Lauren Baker, Léo Caillard, Tiffany Bouelle, Leno Dothan, Jennifer Abessira, Ben Cullen Williams, Jesu Moratiel, Ugur Gallenkus, Andreas Tyrimos and Asiko.

As well as their investment in artists, MTArt Agency has also partnered with household brands including Aston Martin, Christie's, Chloé, the Mayor of London, Network Rail, the Louvre and the City of Paris on special projects.[12]

Personal projects

Tanguy is a member of the Thousand Network, the Creative Industries Federation, The Association of Women Art Dealers and The Association of Women in the Arts. Tanguy also serves as a young patron of the V&A Museum and has been appointed Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.[13]

Tanguy has delivered two TedX talks; on how to transform cities with art (2017), and on how social media visuals affects our minds (2018).[14][15]

In 2018 Tanguy was a recipient of Forbes 30 under 30 Europe: Art and Culture.[16]

In 2019 Tanguy was announced as the face of a new campaign for French luxury fashion house Chloé.[17]

Tanguy has been commissioned to write a book on The Visual Diet, due for publication in 2020.[18] The Visual Diet campaign explores the themes of replacing typical social media visual consumption with enriched visual art content.[19]
