Founded in 1920 by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (1884–1979), Galerie Louise Leiris, was first known as Galerie Simon after Kahnweiler’s partner André Simon (also known as André Jacques Simon Cahen).
Kahnweiler turned the gallery over to his sister-in-law, Louise Leiris (née Alexandrine Louise Godon, 1902–1988), in 1941. After the war Kahnweiler and Maurice Jardot (1901–2002), along with Leiris, were directors of the Gallery.
The gallery is currently owned by Quentin Laurens holder of the droit morale for Braque and the grandson of the sculptor Henri Laurens (1885-1954).
