418 Contemporary Art Gallery

General information

The gallery was created by Dr. Joana Grevers, a Romanian-German art historian and Guy Williamson, an American entrepreneur and businessman. Our first five years were dedicated to the promotion of emerging artists through solo-shows in the gallery, external collaborations with art institutions, art fairs, publications and their annual presence in the workshops from Cetate. We also focused on the promotion of established artists, such as Romul Nutiu (d.2012), the representative of Abstract Expressionism in Romania. We also represent the Romanian-born Canadian artist Sorel Etrog, the Romanian-born German artist Diet Sayler and Vincentiu Grigorescu (d.2012), Romanian-born, Italian painter.
Our inclination towards Abstraction and works in an expanded field is intertwined with the more classical, but intriguing approaches of the Figurative. Nonetheless, our activities intent to create a solid and reliable profile of a Bucharest-based contemporary art gallery, in the emerging Eastern European art market.
