Established at the turn of the century by Niklas and Daniela von Bartha, the London-based gallery, Bartha Contemporary, places a strong emphasis on non-figurative and conceptual works by mostly established American and European contemporary artists. Hailing from the second generation of the art-dealing von Bartha family, Niklas, along with his wife Daniela, maintains a retrospective look at underappreciated modernising movements of the past in the gallery programme, whilst championing the latest works of contemporary artists.

Outgrowing the Lancaster Road space, the gallery moved to central London’s Fitzrovia art district.

Included within its roster are Zoderer, Roeth, and Gerritz along with Clay Ketter, Hartmut Böhm, Julia Mangold , Mike Meiré , Stefana McClure, Alan Johnston, Phil Sims and James Howell.
