Art galleries in Barcelona

Artur Ramon Art
The first art gallery in Barcelona that we are going to talk about is that of Artur Ramon Art. It is one of the galleries with the most history in the city and it is mainly specialized in sketches and drawings. Its activity began back in 1911 and little by little it expanded its business until 2017. Year in which they close the doors to open the new premises of more than 600 square meters located in Bailen Street. Coinciding with the new opening, also changes the business model, Artur Ramon Art goes from being an art gallery as we know to become an Art Management Center.
Art Petritxol
Located in the heart of the Eixample district, more specifically in Calle de Consell de Cent 315, we also find one of the most renowned art galleries in Barcelona, this is none other than Art Petritxol. This gallery is characterized by the works of artists of the historical avant-garde of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
