Ivan Gallery is a contemporary art gallery founded in Bucharest in 2007 as a private initiative by Marian Ivan. Its program is diverse, featuring established artists such as Geta Brătescu, Paul Neagu, Ion Grigorescu, Lia Perjovschi, Horia Bernea, and Simona Runcan, alongside younger- generation Romanian artists like Iulia Toma, Cristina David, Giulia Crețulescu, and Gavril Pop. The gallery also collaborates with Romanian artists based abroad, such as Sándor Bartha and Mădălina Zaharia, as well as international artists like Elijah Burgher, Ross Taylor, and Jaro Varga.
Ivan Gallery aims to support the careers of artists who develop an articulate, conceptual artistic discourse while exploring various experimental practices. By presenting a variety of artistic perspectives, the gallery promotes a coherent program that fosters artistic dialogue across generations and cultures. In the autumn of 2025, Ivan Gallery returned to its original location in Cotroceni after spending five years at Malmaison Studios.
