Established by Alex Vardaxoglou in 2020, Vardaxoglou is a London-based gallery specialising in modern and contemporary art. The gallery’s programme features exhibitions with a number of contemporary artists in the context of regular historical surveys that present pioneering artists of the twentieth century.
Vardaxoglou has presented the first solo exhibitions in London by Lewis Brander, Tanoa Sasraku, Kentaro Okumura, and Niamh O’Malley following her representing Ireland at 59th Venice Biennale in 2022. In 2024 Vardaxoglou presented Turner Prize nominee Thérèse Oulton’s first solo exhibition in 10 years.
In addition to working with living artists, Vardaxoglou represents the Estate of Robyn Denny, one of a group of artists who transformed British art in the 1960s and 70s. Vardaxoglou also works with the Estate of Richard Smith, one of the most influential artists of his generation, and in 2023 opened an exhibition of unseen kite paintings by Richard Smith, the first exhibition of its kind. In the same year Vardaxoglou presented a survey exhibition on Howard Hodgkin’s portraits of artists, supported by the Estate of Howard Hodgkin.
Vardaxoglou is also active in publishing regular exhibition literature, artist’s books, monographs, texts, and special editions, on occasion of particular exhibitions and artist projects, which are all available to view at the gallery and often include contributions from prominent writers, curators, and art historians.
