Which Galleries Represent the Most Powerful Biennial Artists? Here’s the List

This is component of the Biennial Artist Venture, a sequence on the stars of the biennial circuit. You can also go through profiles of the prime 23 artists, our critic’s just take on the list, and a report on the economics of remaining a biennial star. The complete record of biennial artists is accessible to Artnet Information Professional associates. 

 

Our evaluation of which artists have appeared in the most biennials in excess of the previous 5 yrs reveals that these worldwide exhibitions constitute their very own special artwork planet, largely distinctive from the fears of the art current market and even museums. 

Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, these artists are typically represented not by mega-galleries, but by more compact, less model-name dealers with a lot more geographic variety than one might normally associate with the megawatt modern day artwork industry. 

There are additional galleries on this checklist with spots in Paris than in New York. Other folks are headquartered in towns as considerably-flung as Modica, Sicily Reykjavik, Iceland and Zuoz, Switzerland. (One of the most exhibited biennial artists—the collective Forensic Architecture—does not perform formally with any gallery at all.) 

Our examination of which sellers stand for the leading 30 biennial artists amounts to a quite sudden type of electric power checklist. Mega-galleries Pace, David Zwirner, and Gagosian are completely absent. Rather, the major sellers are Mor Charpentier, König Galerie, and Tanya Bonakdar. To be honest, these galleries are barely smaller outfits, with several areas and repeated appearances at fairs like Artwork Basel and Frieze. But they are also not extremely corporate operations with hundreds of staff members. 

See the total listing of galleries that signify the leading 30 biennial artists below. (Galleries that signify several artists are mentioned initial. A star after an artist’s name suggests that the artist is not represented by any other gallery.)
