After starting its artistic journey in 1967, Whitestone Gallery has steadily grown to become a renowned name in the art world. With a rich history of promoting contemporary art, Whitestone has never slowed the pace at which it grows and explores, driven by a passion for introducing exceptional art to global audiences.
In 2017, the gallery expanded its footprint when Whitestone Gallery Taipei and Whitestone Ginza New Gallery opened their doors. Further strengthening its presence in Asia and providing exposure to artists from the region, Whitestone grew further in 2018 with the opening of Whitestone Gallery H Queen’s in Hong Kong, situated at one of the city’s most prestigious art addresses. During the Covid-19 pandemic, recognising the shift towards online platforms, Whitestone opened an online gallery, allowing art enthusiasts to access and purchase works remotely. Continuing its growth, Whitestone opened three additional spaces in 2023, in Beijing, Seoul and Singapore, representing yet another exciting chapter in its ongoing mission to connect artists, collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide.
Whitestone Gallery Beijing is nestled within the vibrant heart of Beijing’s art scene, in the 798 Art District. Once an industrial zone housing state-owned factories, the district has been transformed into a thriving hub of the art community. Designed by the visionary architect Kengo Kuma, like the two other new spaces, the gallery exudes a sense of openness, effortlessly accommodating large-scale artworks.
Whitestone Gallery Seoul is located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. It is close to Mount Namsan, which is not only a popular tourist attraction, with Seoul Tower at its centre, but also a place of relaxation for the citizens of Seoul due to the natural environment it offers. With interior design meticulously overseen by Kengo Kuma, the gallery has been created to blend in with the beautiful landscape. From the rooftop, where the sculptures are displayed, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of Seoul and the lush greenery of the mountain backdrop.
Whitestone Gallery Singapore represents the gallery’s inaugural presence in the city-state. The venue shares its space with the New Art Museum Singapore, creating a harmonious blend of art and culture in the heart of Singapore. Situated in the thriving Tanjong Pagar Distripark (TPD) art district, the gallery is poised to become a hub for Southeast Asian art.
Whitestone embarked on an expansive journey in 2023 by introducing new conversations, fostering collaborations and enhancing artistic experiences. Entering 2024, the gallery promises to continue cultivating a thriving artistic ecosystem that inspires, engages and resonates with art lovers in Asia and worldwide.
