Ivan Gallery is one of the most respected contemporary art galleries in Bucharest, active since 2007. The space is located at 13 Dr. Dimitrie Grecescu Street, in a quiet area of Cotroceni, and features a bright, clean interior, ideal for visually impactful exhibitions. The gallery supports both established Romanian artists, such as Geta Brătescu, and emerging voices in the field of conceptual and performance art. It stands out through a rigorous curatorial program, where each exhibition explores themes that are relevant to contemporary society.
Over time, Ivan Gallery has represented Romania at major international art fairs, including Independent New York and Artissima Torino, giving local artists valuable global exposure. Visitors are welcomed in a professional yet accessible environment, with an overall atmosphere that is reflective and unpretentious. The gallery operates on a limited schedule – Wednesday to Friday from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM - with visits outside these hours available by appointment only.
