Victoria Miro Welcome to the Official page of Victoria Miro, a contemporary art gallery with locations in London and Venice.

Victoria Miro represents some 40 international artists and artist estates, with galleries in London and Venice. Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985. The gallery quickly earned acclaim for showing the work of established and emerging artists from around the world. In 2000 Victoria Miro relocated to a sensitively converted, 8,000-square-foot former furniture factor

y situated between Hoxton and Islington in northeast London. In October 2006 the gallery expanded further by opening a second exhibition and viewing space in an adjoining building on Wharf Road. The new space, conceived by Claudio Silvestrin Architects and executed by the project architects Michael Drain Architects, comprises galleries and viewing rooms. It sits atop a refurbished Victorian building, its sculptural, minimalist form creating a dramatic approach to the building from the street. Illuminating the south façade through its six-metre-high windows is Ian Hamilton Finlay's elegiac neon installation, The Seas Leaves the Strawberries Waves (1990). The gallery is almost unique in London for having its own garden, a beautiful landscaped area overlooking a restored stretch of the Regent's Canal at Wenlock Basin which has been used to great effect for installations by gallery artists such as Yayoi Kusama and Alex Hartley. Victoria Miro Venice opened in May 2017 with an inaugural exhibition, Poolside Magic, by Chris Ofili. The intimate gallery space is housed in a seventeenth-century building, in the former Galleria Il Capricorno. This quintessentially Venetian canalside location is in the heart of the San Marco district. Victoria Miro Venice features a year-round programme of exhibitions and provides further opportunities for artists to stage exhibitions and special projects in an intimate environment in the heart of Venice, a city so beloved by artists. The gallery ethos remains consistent: to promote great and innovative artists and to nurture the best talent from the new generation of artists around the world.

'I have long been fascinated and beguiled by time and thrilled by the way contemporary science challenges and erodes our constructed realities,' writes Shawcross. 'With this new series I have strived to find a way to depict notions of the very early universe — a period known as the great expansion.'

On view at Victoria Miro Venice, Flora Yukhnovich: Egg features new paintings based on ideas the artist developed during her own pregnancy. 'The body of Egg paintings — a family of interconnected beings — are about looking from above and outside at an extraordinarily ordinary human experience' writes Charlotte Jansen: https://www.victoria-miro.com/exhibitions/flora-yukhnovich-venice-2026/

Work by the artist also features in our forthcoming presentation at Art Basel (Booth E9, 16–21 June): https://www.victoria-miro.com/art-fairs/art-basel-2026

Announcing Wangechi Mutu: The SeasSpirit, an exhibition of new collage-paintings. Opening at Victoria Miro Venice on 18 July (private view 5–7pm, all welcome).

For her forthcoming exhibition, Wangechi Mutu returns to the subject of water, a theme she has explored throughout her practice, not only as a mythical realm but also as a fragile, symbiotic ecosystem. Created with Venice in mind, this body of work resonates with the city's enigmatic character – a place where land and water, history and myth, continually converge.

In NS Harsha's new exhibition at Victoria Miro, 'we see workers in high visibility gear sitting in rows enjoying a South Indian feast which is spread out on banana-leaf platters,' writes Grant Watson. 'Pictured en masse they present an image of labour, leisure and refreshment… Only the scene is ripped apart from top to bottom. Bisected with a vortical line that runs through the centre, a tear in space-time revealing the cosmos…' Read the full essay: https://www.victoria-miro.com/ns-harsha-grant-watson-essay/

Art Basel opens next week — among the highlights of our presentation (Hall 2.0, Booth E6) is a major new painting by Chris Ofili, Our Times: Hunters in pink shade lure butterflies into their griffin's chain link lair, 2015–2026. The work has absorbed a decade's worth of the artist's experiences and energies in its gestation, along with the manifold influences of works and exhibitions made in the meantime: https://www.victoria-miro.com/viewing-room/chris-ofili-our-times

In Shahzia Sikander's Possessed, 2026, 'Queen Victoria sits sealed in mosaic within an oval frame, the shape Victorian Britain reserved for the cherished likeness,' writes Haani Jetha. 'The crown of the Mughal court rises behind her head, annexed into her own regalia; conquest has become costume.' On view in High Seas; Closed Skies, the artist's first solo exhibition at Victoria Miro: https://www.victoria-miro.com/exhibitions/shahzia-sikander-london-2026/
