Gallery description

418 Gallery was founded in Bucharest in 2008. Dr. Joana Grevers, an art historian of Romanian origin, and Guy K. Williamson, an American businessperson and art collector. Since 2017, the gallery has headquarters in Cetate and became the first rural gallery in Romania. The generous architectural space at Cetate, a former agricultural family estate from the second half of the 19th century, is an unusual environment and an ideal match for young cutting-edge artists working on a large scale. Since 2008, 418 Gallery and the Joana Grevers Foundation have organized the Cetate Arts Danube Residency every summer, a workshop for Romanian and international artists. Since 2017, the gallery opened a branch office in Munich, where most of the works are stored and can be viewed. At regular intervals, we held private views of the representative works of selected artists.

Focus

The gallery considers Abstract Expressionism one of the most interesting and historically relevant artistic developments post-WWII. The Abstract Expressionist movement emerged at the peak of the Cold War and, against all odds, managed to reach and influence artists living in imposed seclusion in communist countries of Eastern Europe. Abstract Expressionism behind the Iron Curtain represents a highly relevant and startling artistic movement..
