Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery committed to championing diverse voices and creating long-term institutional visibility for its artists. Since relocating to its current premises in 2011, the gallery has focused on increasing the representation of female and non-binary artists, and fostering intergenerational dialogue across its programme.

The gallery has presented the first UK solo exhibitions of significant artist such as Jacqueline de Jong, Faith Ringgold, Dindga McCannon, and Carrie Mae Weems, while also providing early and sustained support to a new generation of artists, including Jadé Fadojutimi, Wangari Mathenge, Nengi Omuku, Sophia Loeb, and Shaqúelle Whyte. This commitment extends to The Box, the gallery’s micro-project space, which has hosted ambitious commissions by influential voices such as Susan Hiller, Martha Rosler, Yinka Shonibare CBE, Ai Weiwei, Alina Szapocznikow, and Woody De Othello.

A defining pillar of the gallery’s ethos is to build enduring institutional recognition for its artists. To that end, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery places significant emphasis on relationships with museums and public collections, facilitating major acquisitions internationally. Recent placements include Tate, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; LACMA and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; The Studio Museum in Harlem; Columbus Museum of Art; Nasher Museum of Art, Durham; The Whitworth, Manchester; The Hepworth Wakefield; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Baltimore Museum of Art; and New Orleans Museum of Art, among others.
