Lisson Gallery is a contemporary art gallery founded in London in 1967 by Nicholas Logsdail, making it one of the longest-running and most influential galleries in the international contemporary art world. The gallery built its early reputation championing minimal and conceptual art, presenting pioneering exhibitions by artists associated with those movements decades before they entered the museum mainstream.
Today Lisson represents a roster of more than 60 artists and estates, including Anish Kapoor, Marina Abramovic, and Ai Weiwei, spanning sculpture, painting, installation, film, and performance. The gallery operates spaces in London and New York alongside locations in Los Angeles and China, and it maintains an active program of off-site projects, publications, and institutional collaborations.
Lisson participates in the principal international art fairs, including Art Basel, Frieze, and Art Basel Hong Kong, and places works with museums, foundations, and private collections worldwide. It remains an independent, family-linked business, with Nicholas Logsdail as founder and successive generations of leadership drawn from within the gallery. Prices range from editions and works on paper to major sculptures and installations commanding seven-figure sums, with sales conducted through its galleries, fairs, and online viewing rooms.
