Art Virus Ltd. is a gallery and art trading company based in London and Frankfurt am Main. Its goal is to help artists receive the attention they deserve on the international art scene.
An essential part of the development of art is the dialogue between quoting that which already exists and the emergence of new ideas. We often come across a world whose view needs to be sensitized to an inner understanding of that which is being displayed. Public museums are frequently no longer in a position to purchase and display current Contemporary positions in their collections, as a result of budget cuts. In contrast, a multitude of private museums and collections have come into being in the last 20 years, and these include works by new, young Contemporary artists. Important examples of this are Franc¸ois Pinault, Saatchi Gallery, and the special Hoppe-Ritter collection on geometric objects.
Following this tradition, Art Virus Ltd. presents and secures current and Contemporary works of art and influences the current comprehension of art. When selecting works, we focus our attention on the quality of the works displayed, showing an underlying profound, content-related, art-historical, and analytical dialogue with the respective art position.
Art Virus Ltd. sees itself as a bridge builder between artists and those interested in art and literature. It offers a forum intended to promote exchange and creative development. It is about far more than a pure commercial gallery concept. Art should not only be sold; we consider it just as important to promote art, to make a platform available, and to make interesting Contemporary positions accessible to the public.
