About the Gallery

  • About the gallery

    Centred in the belief that art creates possibilities for a greater depth and understanding of life outside of prejudice, allowing ideas to flourish freely, Victoria Miro is celebrated for its commitment to artists whose visionary and singular practices shape the landscape of contemporary art.

    Victoria Miro represents over 40 artists from around the world, supporting the careers of some the most significant artists of our time from early development to estate management.

    The gallery presents a programme that reimagines how art is made, accessed and experienced through exhibitions in its London and Venice spaces and on LIVE / ARCHIVE, as well as through international art fairs, museum collaborations, commissions and residencies in the Venice studio.

    By advancing the use of new technologies, Victoria Miro is at the forefront of presenting art beyond gallery walls, enabling collectors, curators and the public to connect with art anytime and anywhere in the world, while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

    The gallery shapes artistic inquiry by bringing together acclaimed writers, critics and thinkers to collaborate with artists on exhibitions, commissions, new writing and conversations that open perspectives on culture.

    History

    Victoria Miro first opened her gallery on Cork Street, Mayfair, in 1985.  Over the past four decades, together with partners Glenn Scott Wright and Oliver Miro, who joined in 1996 and 2011 respectively, the gallery has gained international acclaim for nurturing a roster of established artists and showcasing a new generation of voices from around the world. 

    In 2000 the gallery relocated to its present premises, a sensitively restored furniture factory in North London. In 2006 the gallery opened a second exhibition and private viewing space in an adjoining building, uniquely connected by a waterside sculpture garden. Today Victoria Miro is one of London’s largest commercial gallery spaces.

    In 2017 the gallery expanded internationally opening a third location in Venice to provide opportunities for artists to stage exhibitions and special projects in an intimate environment in the heart of this historic city. 

    In 2019 Victoria Miro established a studio space in Venice for artists to spend extended time and make new bodies of work in a city so beloved by artists.

    In 2025 the gallery launched LIVE / ARCHIVE, led by Oliver Miro, an innovative platform designed to bring the gallery’s programmes to audiences worldwide. Powered by Vortic and utilising 3D, AR and VR, this initiative makes Victoria Miro the first gallery to integrate these new technologies into all its activities, including an extensive archive of exhibitions.
