Contemporary Art Gallery

MARUANI MERCIER

Locations

Founded in 1995, MARUANI MERCIER represents 27 contemporary artists alongside museum-quality historical exhibitions while building on the legacy of several renowned estates. By presenting established and emerging artists together, the gallery promotes intergenerational artistic dialogue. It also supports new scholarship by collaborating with leading art historians and curators on exhibition catalogues and artist texts. Many represented artists participate in international exhibitions and are included in major museum and private collections worldwide.

Initially, MARUANI MERCIER’s programme focused on celebrated American artists of the 1980s working in painting and sculpture, reflecting the aesthetic and social concerns of their time, including Ross Bleckner, Francesco Clemente, Ron Gorchov, Peter Halley, Jonathan Lasker, and Sue Williams.

Over time, the gallery expanded to include a new generation of artists working across diverse media and engaging with history, politics, the environment, identity, and authorship. Radcliffe Bailey, Esiri Erheriene-Essi, and Victor Ehikhamenor explore Black history and culture, while Lyle Ashton Harris examines race and sexuality. Recent artists include Jaclyn Conley, Tony Matelli, Kate Gottgens, Æmen Ededéen, Von Wolfe, and Pam Glick, whose practices span painting, sculpture, and AI-assisted or found-image methods, addressing memory, material experimentation, and social experience. In 2026, the gallery became the exclusive European representative of the George Rickey Foundation.

THE WAREHOUSE hosts an annual residency programme featuring artists including Kwesi Botchway, Cornelius Annor, Johnson Eziefula, and Samuel de Saboia. That same year, the gallery expanded with a new Brussels depot and opened a gallery space on Rue Saint-Georges, reinforcing its long-term vision and European presence.
