the gallery
Founded in 1959 by the Romanian immigrant André Blau (1930-2018), the André Art Gallery has been operating in the Brazilian art market for more than six decades, with full activity in the various phases of this circuit. In 1959, the first space was installed, at Avenida Vieira de Carvalho, 144, Centro de SP, which lasted until the early 1980s. In 1974, it gained another space at Alameda Jaú (also operating until the 1980s). There was a building exclusively dedicated to the three-dimensional on Gabriel Monteiro da Silva avenue, open from 1988 to 2018. Today, the gallery is headquartered in Jardins, at the confluence of Rebouças Avenue, Estados Unidos Street and Gabriel Monteiro da Silva Avenue, standing out in the landscape. paulistana by the building with large windows framed by structures in red.

present
Through the work of its director, Juliana Blau, the André Art Gallery anchors its intense activity within the art circuit in the history of the space, which was a safe haven for dozens of artists today inseparable from the history of Brazilian art. And it does not fail to open up to the new, representing recent names in contemporary art, some also with strong relationships with movements, trends and styles present in André's cast of artists. The gallery has a strong collection in various languages of the visual arts, such as painting, three-dimensional, engraving, drawing and photography, among others. It is active in the acquisition of works in line with the rich collection it has. It promotes extensive collective and individual exhibitions, signed by renowned curators and critics, registering such effort in the production of catalogs and exclusive material for digital media.
Multimural Project
The Multimuro Project officially started in June 2021, when the artist Verena Smit (São Paulo, 1984) developed for one of the facades of the André Art Gallery, located on Avenida Rebouças, another offshoot of the Tudo Vai Pulsar series. The program, curated by Ana Carolina Ralston, intends to encourage mural works developed by contemporary artists - more accustomed to street culture or with less traffic in this medium - that make the relationship between everyday urbanity and public art a laboratory for their particular poetics. . The project has a graphic arm, as the gallery offers a print run based on what is shown to the public in the city's public place. The 50 pieces are numbered and signed by the artist and are available in the gallery's online store. Previously, Filipe Grimaldi (São Paulo, 1985) made an intervention on the same wall, Coragem, at the end of 2020. A print run of graphic pieces was also made available for sale to the public. Eduardo Kobra, at the time represented by the gallery, signed a mural that was displayed for years on the facade. The wall gained more height and was renovated in 2020.
