1996 – Present
A Gallery began with an idea: that art could do more than decorate – it could connect people, places, time. It could shape environments. Open conversations. Leave a trace.
The seed was planted in 1995, when we produced the Official Art Portfolio for the World Championships in Athletics in Gothenburg. Five Swedish artists – Helene Billgren, Ernst Billgren, Roland Borén, Håkan Carlsson and Graham Stacy – were invited to create new work. The preface was written by Peter Dahl. The project set the tone: contemporary, relevant, rooted in real dialogue.
In 1996, we opened our first space at Tredje Långgatan 6 in Gothenburg. Over the next 15 years, we curated 74 exhibitions – primarily modern Swedish art – and became a hub for artists, collectors and collaborators.
From 2010 to 2014, we moved to a larger, more urban gallery at Sofierogatan 3. The shift brought new energy: international artists, broader perspectives, deeper conversations.
Since 2014, A Gallery has evolved into a contemporary art structure. We focus on collecting, advising, and executing ambitious art projects – from single acquisitions to large-scale installations. What holds it together is one thing: real relationships with art and the people who care about it.
Today, we’re based in Gothenburg and Barcelona – operating quietly across Europe, building what lasts.
In 2022, a new chapter began with our collaboration with Sotheby’s Scandinavia. It opened further access, new levels of trust, and deeper alignment with the long view we believe in.
