Ivan Gallery, one of Romania’s most internationally active galleries, was opened in 2007, in Bucharest, by curator and cultural promoter Marian Ivan with the aim of invigorating the Romanian commercial gallery scene. The gallery includes in its portfolio highly influential artists like Geta Brătescu, Paul Neagu and Horia Bernea who, beginning with the 1960s, reinvented the local visual arts landscape. It is also home to important contemporary names who only now are starting to leave a mark on the international artistic context.
The gallery has developed many fruitful collaborations with famous world art institutions like MoMA, the Venice Biennale, Istanbul Biennale, Tate London, Hammer Museum, Palais de Tokyo, New Museum, giving its projects and artists an international exposure few other Romanian galleries have enjoyed.
