About the Gallery
Founded by Ciléne Andréhn and Marina Schiptjenko in Stockholm in 1991, Andrehn-Schiptjenko was one of the first galleries in Sweden with an international roster, serving as a catalyst for a new generation of contemporary art spaces in Scandinavia. The gallery has been consistently committed to working in an international arena and to the long-term representation of emerging and established artists from all over the world. The gallery has successfully launched the careers of Scandinavian artists such as Annika Larsson, Matts Leiderstam, and Annika von Hausswolff and has given artists such as Uta Barth, Siobhán Hapaska, Nandipha Mntambo, and Xavier Veilhan their first European or Scandinavian solo exhibition. In recent years, the gallery has started working with the estates of Francesca Woodman and Siri Derkert, renewing interest in the work of these artists. Now occupying one of the largest gallery spaces in what has become a hub for contemporary art in Stockholm, Andréhn-Schiptjenko has expanded its activities to encompass art-advisory services for larger projects, including collaborations with artists and architects on commissions for public sculpture.

Gallerists Ciléne Andréhn and Marina Schiptjenko speak of their eponymous gallery which just recently turned 25 years and since its inception has been marked by being ahead of its time, adopting an international approach as aueteurs at a time when the art scene in Sweden remained provincial.
