Founded by Ciléne Andréhn and Marina Schiptjenko in 1991 in Stockholm, Andréhn-Schiptjenko has consistently been committed to working on an international arena and to the long-term representation of emerging and established contemporary artists from all over the world, working with painting, sculpture, photography, film and digital media as well as performance, installation-based and site-specific work.
Andréhn-Schiptjenko has organised and curated exhibitions that have become seminal in the Nordic context, successfully launching the international careers of Scandinavian artists such as Cajsa von Zeipel, Gunnel Wåhlstrand, Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Sally von Rosen and Matts Leiderstam, and giving artists such as Cecilia Bengolea, José León Cerrillo, Martín Soto Climent, Ridley Howard, Tony Matelli, Sabine Mirlesse and Xavier Veilhan their first European or Scandinavian one-person exhibition. Included in the gallery programme are also artists of art historical relevance, such as Siri Derkert, a trailblazing female modernist whose work continues to influence new generations of artists and Julio Le Parc, one of the central figures in the Op-art movement.
Artists represented by Andréhn-Schiptjenko are regularly present in major international survey contexts and the gallery enjoys privileged relationships with museums and collectors and is also involved in projects in the public arena. As way of expanding the gallery’s international scope and allowing for a closer relationship with the gallery’s global network, a second space opened in Paris in 2019. Since 2022, it has relocated to a new spacious venue, allowing for ambitious presentations of gallery artists.
