About the Gallery

Victoria Miro is a leading contemporary art gallery. At its core is the belief that art creates possibilities for a deeper understanding of life beyond prejudice, allowing ideas to flourish freely. Since its founding by Victoria Miro in 1985, the gallery's ethos – to dare, excel and elevate – has driven its vision.

Over the past four decades, the gallery has established itself as a prominent voice in the contemporary art world, consistently presenting groundbreaking and original exhibitions in its London and Venice locations. The gallery has been instrumental in nurturing the careers of some of the most significant contemporary artists of our time. Victoria Miro, along with partners Glenn Scott Wright and Oliver Miro, remains dedicated to fostering long-standing relationships with the gallery's acclaimed artists and artist estates, while showcasing new voices from around the globe.

Miro Presents, led by Oliver Miro, is a new programmatic strand of the gallery. This ambitious initiative highlights the work of invited artists through solo presentations, curated exhibitions, artists' residencies and commissions, within both the physical and virtual spaces of the gallery.

Beyond the gallery walls, audiences can explore art through our Live / Archive platform, offering an immersive journey through our programme from anywhere in the world. The gallery is at the forefront of adopting new technologies that significantly reduce carbon emissions, pioneering innovative ways to present and experience art – always guided by the creative ambitions of our artists. 

History

Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair, in 1985, and currently represents 43 artists and artist estates. In 2000, the gallery relocated to its current premises, a sensitively converted former furniture factory in North London.

In 2006, the gallery expanded further with the opening of a second exhibition and viewing space in an adjoining building, uniquely connected by a waterside sculpture garden. Victoria Miro remains one of London's largest commercial gallery spaces.

In 2017, the gallery expanded internationally with the opening of a third location in Venice, where, alongside a dynamic exhibition programme, it hosts ongoing artists' residencies in its Venice studio.
