About the Gallery
Galeria Luisa Strina, established in 1974 in São Paulo, Brazil, stands as the oldest contemporary art gallery in the country and a pivotal force in the global art landscape. Founded by Luisa Malzone Strina, the gallery has been instrumental in shaping and consolidating the Brazilian contemporary art market, championing a generation of conceptual artists including Antonio Dias, Cildo Meireles, and Tunga.
A trailblazer in internationalizing Brazilian art, Galeria Luisa Strina made history in 1992 as the first Latin American gallery invited to Art Basel. Its discerning roster encompasses influential Brazilian and international artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Alfredo Jaar, and Anna Maria Maiolino, alongside emerging talents. The gallery's enduring mission is to support artists whose work resonates with significant social, political, and cultural impact, continually reimagining art's role in society and fostering a dialogue between Brazilian and global art.
