Groupe Artémis is a French investment holding with a portfolio in fashion (Kering), wine (Artémis Domaines [fr] including Château Latour), art (Christie's, Pinault Collection), sports (Stade Rennais FC) and entertainment (Creative Artists Agency). Headquartered in Paris, France, Groupe Artémis was founded by François Pinault in 1992.

History

[edit]

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. Throughout the 1990s, he engaged in a series of prestigious acquisitions.[1]

The acquisition of Château Latour (Pauillac-Médoc) in 1993[2] was the first of a series under the Artémis Domaines [fr] label. Artémis Domaines was restructured in 2022 after the acquisition of Bouchard Père et Fils.[3]

Groupe Artémis bought the news magazine Le Point in 1997,[4] the auction house Christie's[5] and the Ligue 1 soccer team Stade Rennais FC in 1998,[6] and the book-publishing company Éditions Tallandier in 1999.[7]

In May 2003, François-Henri Pinault took over the presidency of Artémis.[8]

In 2005, Groupe Artémis acquired the Palazzo Grassi in Venice,[9] which reopened in 2006 as the first exhibition site of Pinault Collection.[10] Pinault Collection inaugurated the Punta della Dogana in Venice in 2009[11] and the Bourse de Commerce in Paris in 2021.[12]

Artémis acquired 40.9% of Courrèges in 2014 (100% in 2018)[13] and the luxury cruise operator Ponant in 2015.[14] In 2017, the group launched the tech investment company Red River West[15] and acquired the couture house Giambattista Valli.[16] In 2018, Artémis acquired the magazine Point de vue [fr] (royal family news)[17] and bought 29% of Puma from Kering.[18]

In 2019, the Pinault family, through Artémis, pledged to donate 100 million euros for the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris after the fire.[19] In 2023, Artémis acquired a majority stake in the talent and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for an estimated $7 billion, "a deal that shows the ever-growing convergence of fashion and fame" according to The New York Times.[20]
