Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985. The gallery quickly earned acclaim for showing the work of established and emerging artists from the USA, Europe and Asia, and for nurturing the careers of young artists from the UK. Victoria Miro currently occupies 19,000 square feet across three buildings making it one of the largest commercial spaces in London. The two galleries in Wharf Road in northeast London are uniquely linked by a beautiful terrace and water garden which is used to present outdoor sculpture projects. In 2013 Victoria Miro returned to Mayfair to open a third gallery which occupies the ground floor of a prominent corner site intersected by St George and Maddox Streets, directly behind Sotheby's in Bond Street. As Victoria Miro approaches its 30th year, the gallery ethos remains consistent: to promote great and innovative artists and to nurture the best talent from the new generation of artists around the world.
