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.

Final days to see Tal R: The Elephant in the Room at Millesgården Museum in Lidingö, Sweden — closes this Sunday. In paintings, drawings, and bronze sculptures, including many new works, Tal R's visual language balances playfulness and seriousness, naivety, and complexity: https://www.millesgarden.se/en/exhibitions

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Yayoi Kusama, who has passed away at the age of 97.

'The world has lost a truly revolutionary creative force. Yayoi Kusama's singular artistic vision has transformed the landscape of visual art forever. Kusama was loved by millions of people across the world, and her art will leave a lasting and profound impact on humanity. Her focus, dedication, grace and generosity were unparalleled, and we are immensely proud to have worked with her over the past thirty years.' – Victoria Miro and Glenn Scott Wright

Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Kusama was renowned for her prolific and ground-breaking practice, encompassing painting, sculpture, performance, moving image, large-scale installation, fashion and writing. Trained in traditional Japanese painting, she moved to the United States in 1957 and quickly established herself in the American and European avant-garde with her unique and radical artistic language. She returned to Japan in 1973 and, relentlessly reinventing, created work that meaningfully connected with the times in which she lived.

Yayoi Kusama's enduring philosophical message 'Love Forever' continues to resonate deeply.

Paintings by Chantal Joffe feature in Becoming Paula, now on view at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen. Marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Paula Modersohn-Becker, the exhibition looks at the trailblazing life and work of the German artist and her lasting impact. Cited as one of the first female artists to paint n**e self-portraits, her depictions of women and children are an enduring influence on Joffe: https://www.museen-boettcherstrasse.de/ausstellungen/becoming-paula/

For the exhibition Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions — now on view at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York — Chris Ofili has created new collages that re-conceive tarot's iconic arcana within the context of Carnival in Trinidad, where he lives and works. Much like tarot, Carnival reflects a rich tradition of repurposing and recombining elements from different religious and folk traditions: https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/online/tarot/25
