The gallery forms an artistic twinning with Bologna’s prestigious Palazzo Fantuzzi, creating exchange opportunities for artists working internationally.
History
Arthill Gallery opened in June 2018 as the London outpost of the Galleria Farini Concept, directed by owner Grazia Galdenzi and artistic director Roberto Dudine. The partnership was conceived to extend the Bologna gallery’s reach beyond regional and national boundaries. The London location occupies a former place of worship, its architectural heritage speaking to the gallery’s commitment to historic venues.
What you see
The gallery inhabits a converted church displaying Neo-Gothic and Gothic Revival characteristics typical of Victorian-era London. These austere, imposing architectural qualities contrast elegantly with contemporary artworks displayed within. The building’s ecclesiastical origins and period detailing create a distinctive setting for exhibitions.
Cultural significance
Arthill Gallery participates actively in London’s vibrant contemporary art fair circuit, contributing to the capital’s dynamic commercial art market. The Bologna–London twinning initiative provides artists with expanded opportunities for international exhibition and sales, while connecting British collectors with continental European perspectives on contemporary practice.
