Kalfayan Galleries
Athens, 10675 Greece Get Directions
Kalfayan Galleries is a contemporary art gallery based in Athens, founded in 1995, that has played an influential role in the development of the Greek contemporary art scene. Its program is shaped by a sustained dialogue between Eastern and Western visual cultures, with a particular focus on Greece, the Balkans, and the MENAM region. The gallery presents both emerging and established artists working across a wide range of media, fostering exchanges that connect local artistic practices with broader international contexts.
A central aspect of Kalfayan Galleries’ mission is the research and critical presentation of art in Greece, including historically grounded exhibitions on postwar Greek art and the representation of significant artists’ estates. This ongoing engagement between contemporary practice and postwar legacies defines the gallery’s curatorial philosophy. Through regular participation in international art fairs and collaborations with museums, institutions, curators, and artists worldwide, Kalfayan Galleries has established a strong international presence, with its artists featured in major biennials and exhibitions and included in the programs of leading cultural institutions across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.
