From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galleri Sand is a Norwegian and New York City based art gallery, representing notable contemporary artists like Vebjørn Sand and Marianne Aulie.[1][2] Founded in 1984 by the Norwegian Sand family.[3] The artists of the gallery also consider themselves an artist collective.

The gallery has sold pieces to noted art collectors including Raymond J. Learsy.[4][5][2]

History[edit]

In the years prior to opening a permanent space, the artists who formed Galleri Sand worked with other galleries to exhibit their work.[6] Their first exhibits were placed in sea huts that line the Norwegian coast on the islands of Hvaler. That pop-up, their first, featured depictions of the various villages that run closely to where Sand family at that time.[7] The gallery initially was an artist-run space on the east side of Oslo in the Grunerlokka area. After finding success they moved the gallery to the Frogner area. In 2007, Galleri Sand opened a space in the West Village neighborhood of New York City.[8]

Galleri Sand closed its doors to the public in 2017 (they are now appointment-only) in an effort to shift their focus to more international work.[9] From there the gallery began a series of pop-up tours and exhibited in over 60 cities, resulting in over 300,000 visitors.
