About the Gallery
The Michael Goedhuis gallery, helmed by its eponymous founder, presents a distinguished curatorial vision rooted in a profound understanding of both historical and contemporary Asian art, with an expanding focus on Western artists. Michael Goedhuis, an art historian and former investment banker, established his reputation by specializing in Persian, Mughal, and Islamic art, curating significant collections for institutions globally. He pioneered the introduction of modern and contemporary Chinese art to the Western market in the early 1990s, notably with the "China Without Borders" exhibition at Sotheby's, New York, in 2001. The gallery's current emphasis lies in showcasing the resurgence of Chinese cultural activity and the enduring relevance of Chinese Ink art to contemporary aesthetics, alongside works by a new generation of Western painters, sculptors, and designers. This unique blend positions the Michael Goedhuis gallery as a vital nexus for cross-cultural artistic dialogue and appreciation.
