ABOUT GR GALLERY
GR Gallery, born in the mid-seventies, almost 40 years ago, soon focused its activities on the enhancement and promotion of the European (mostly Latin) post-war avant-gardes, giving priority to those artists who have produced special and personal propulsive thrusts during the triumphs (and the eclipse) of the so-called Informel.
Since the nineties, GR Gallery has been dedicated to the rediscovery and re-launch of the newest avant-garde: the movement of Kinetic and Programmed Art. At is an activity often carried out in deep solitude but certainly anticipating the times, and promoting artists who, in the third millennium, critics and the market have enthusiastically recognized. The arrival of the Gallery in New York will be celebrating this reborn movement.
