Galleria Monteoliveto

Monteoliveto Gallery is glad to introduce its new initiative for the « Cities of Europe » project : London Calling. After Berlin and Paris, our gallery stops in the british capital.  From the 10th to the 23rd of April 2016 we will be present, with a theme-free exhibition, at the Coningsby Gallery, established in 1994 in London’s art district, Fitzrovia. The neighborhood is situated in the area immediately next to Bloomsbury, known for the famous commercial Oxford street and for the musicians that passed there among which the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Bob Dylan, the Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. The area is filled with an avant-garde soul and hosts many art dealers and commercial art galleries.  If in the art gallery’s world the word « monopoly » would exist, in London, Fitzrovia would be the neighborhood more appropriated, with its climax between North Oxford Street and South Euston Road. Countless artists passed by this area, we can remember primarily Constable, Millais, Rosetti, Whistler, Sickert and the Bloomsbury Group, whose leader Roger Fry realized the Omega Workshop. Also many important contemporary art galleries, are present : Stuart Shave & Jake Miller, Alison Jacques, Paradise Row, Josh Lilley, Fred, Rokeby, Rollo, Monika Bobinska. It is in this dynamic that, in collaboration with the Coningsby Gallery, Monteoliveto Gallery launches its first London and British event!
