Zilberman, founded in Istanbul in 2008, stages 10–12 exhibitions every year in its gallery spaces in Istanbul and Berlin. The gallery occupies two separate floors of Mısır Apartment, one of the most famous examples of art nouveau architecture in Istanbul.

In April 2023 the gallery moved their main space in Berlin to Schlüterstraße 45. From September 2023 onwards, the Goethestraße will continue as a project space, serving as an international platform for the arts.
The gallery has a strong presence at international art fairs, forging close relationships with collectors, curators and art professionals, and creating opportunities for gallery artists. With the firm belief that a commercial gallery should also assume its social responsibility of education and audience development, Zilberman organises artist talks, lecture performances, book launches, as well as round table discussions.
Zilberman also provides the artists with the opportunity to live and work in Istanbul/Berlin through its artist-in-residency program.
Concluding each years' exhibition season, Zilberman Istanbul curates Young Fresh Different, a group show with a selection of works chosen by an independent jury from applications made to a nationwide open call.
