About the Gallery

Pilar Corrias is a contemporary art gallery in the heart of London’s West End which opened in 2008. The 3,800 square foot gallery space on Eastcastle Street was designed by the architect Rem Koolhaas and is made up of two exhibition spaces.

Since its inception, the gallery has worked with emerging and established artists with the central aim of allowing their work to grow both in terms of production of new projects and the making of new exhibitions. Alongside its internal programming, the gallery places great importance on supporting their artists through fostering relationships with public institutions, private foundations, museums, and commissioning bodies.
