Vigo was founded in 2011 and represents emerging and established international artists, curating shows in the public and private arenas as well as placing historicand contemporary works into the collections of prominent museums and Foundations. We have placed almost two hundred works in institutions, including TATEModern, The British Museum, MoMA, The Ashmolean Museum, Sharjah Art Foundation, The Arts Council, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and The MetropolitanMuseum. Exhibitions have been organised with institutions including Somerset House, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, San Francisco City Hall, The Prince ClausFoundation, City of Prague Gallery, Hastings Contemporary, Smithson Plaza, The Drawing Centre NY, Kunsthalle Zurich, Tegnerforbundet and WellingtonArch. Ibrahim El-Salahi took part in the 2022 Venice Biennale with 99 works and is participating again in 2024.

In addition to our contemporary focus and primary program, the gallery shines light on historically significant yet undervalued artists with strong museum and curatorial followings. We have a developed long-term interest in the African diaspora and African American artists although our program is international working with artists and estates from Belgium, America, Australia and Japan alongside our British contingent. Amongst others, our represented artists include Ibrahim El-Salahi, Lakwena Maciver, Jordy Kerwick, Henrik Godsk and Johnny Abrahams.
