Andréhn-Schiptjenko

Since its foundation in 1991, the Andréhn-Schiptjenko gallery has always been committed to working on the international scene and to the long-term representation of emerging and established contemporary artists from around the world, working with painting, sculpture, photography, film and digital media, in particular to produce installations, performances and site-specific works.

For over thirty years, the gallery has organized exhibitions that have made their mark on the Nordic countries, successfully launching the careers of Scandinavian artists such as Cajsa von Zeipel, Gunnel Wåhlstrand, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff and Matts Leiderstam, and giving artists like Uta Barth, Cecilia Bengolea, José León Cerrillo, Martín Soto Climent, Ridley Howard, Tony Matelli and Xavier Veilhan their first solo show in Europe or Scandinavia. The gallery’s program also includes important artists who have left their mark on art history, such as Siri Derkert, an avant-garde modernist whose work continues to influence new generations of artists, and Julio Le Parc, one of the central figures of the Op-art movement.

The artists represented by the gallery are regularly present in major international contexts. Recent exhibitions by artists represented by the gallery include the major exhibition of Uta Barth’s work at the Getty Museum (2022), Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff’s extensive retrospective at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and Malmö (2021-2022), and Cecilia Bengolea’s performance and presentation at MUDAM, Luxembourg (2022). Jacob Dahlgren, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Siobhán Hapaska and most recently Xavier Veilhan with Studio Venezia (2017) have all represented their respective countries at the Venice Biennale.

The gallery maintains privileged relationships with museums and collectors, and also participates in projects in the public space. In order to broaden its international scope and host collaborative, multidisciplinary projects, a second space opened in Paris in spring 2019, enabling a closer relationship with the gallery’s international network. In summer 2022, the Paris gallery moved into a spacious new space, enabling the artists represented by the gallery to propose ambitious exhibitions.

Andréhn-Schiptjenko has also participated in international art fairs since the mid-90s – The Armory Show, Art Basel, Material Art Fair Mexico City and Paris+ by Art Basel, to name but a few. The gallery is an active member of the Swedish National Gallery Association, the Professional Committee of Art Galleries, the Gallery Climate Coalition and the International Gallery Alliance. Since its creation in 1991, Andréhn-Schiptjenko has been run by its founders Ciléne Andréhn and Marina Schiptjenko.
