Our story

Vernissage opened in 2009 in a former print works on Vyner Street, with one room, one artist and a promise to answer every enquiry within a day.

Today we represent fourteen living artists, most of them from their first show onwards. We put on six exhibitions a year, take our artists to a handful of fairs, and place work with collectors, companies and museums across Europe and beyond.

We show prices, we reply fast and we never pressure anyone into buying. Most of our collectors started with a small work on paper; some of them now lend to museums.

What we believe

  1. 01

    Prices on the wall

    Every work shows its price, online and in the gallery. No asking twice.

  2. 02

    Artists for the long run

    We work with a small roster and stay with them, from the first show to the museum loan.

  3. 03

    Nothing but the work

    Two white rooms, good light and time to look. The rest is noise.
