MARUANI MERCIER
Contemporary Art Gallery
Locations
Founded in 1995, MARUANI MERCIER represents 28 artists and estates, presenting contemporary art alongside museum-quality historical exhibitions. By bringing established artists into dialogue with emerging talent, the gallery fosters exchanges across generations while championing the legacies of significant twentieth-century artists. Its commitment to scholarship is reflected in collaborations with leading art historians and curators on exhibition catalogues and artist texts.
Initially focused on American artists of the 1980s, including Ross Bleckner, Francesco Clemente, Ron Gorchov, Peter Halley, Jonathan Lasker and Sue Williams, the gallery has expanded its programme to encompass diverse artistic practices addressing history, politics, the environment, identity and authorship.
Artists such as Radcliffe Bailey, Esiri Erheriene-Essi, Victor Ehikhamenor and Lyle Ashton Harris explore questions of cultural identity, race and representation. Recent additions, including Jaclyn Conley, Tony Matelli, Kate Gottgens, Æmen Ededéen, Von Wolfe and Pam Glick, enrich the programme through painting, sculpture and experimental approaches to imagery and materiality.
In 2026, MARUANI MERCIER became the exclusive European representative of the George Rickey Foundation and welcomed the estates of Hermann Nitsch and Georg Karl Pfahler, reinforcing its dedication to preserving major artistic legacies.
Beyond its exhibitions, the gallery supports artistic creation through its annual residency programme at THE WAREHOUSE, which has welcomed artists including Kwesi Botchway, Cornelius Annor, Johnson Eziefula and Samuel de Saboia. In 2026, the gallery strengthened its presence in Brussels with the opening of a new exhibition space on Rue Saint-Georges and the acquisition of a dedicated art depot.
