Whitestone to open largest gallery space in Asia

Whitestone to open largest gallery space in Asia
December 28, 2022

Whitestone Gallery Co., Ltd is to open one of the largest gallery spaces in Asia with its Singapore Gallery occupying over 1200 square metres when it opens in January 2023.

Whitestone Gallery offers a diversity of art disciplines and styles from Japanese post-war art to contemporary art.

With the growing presence of Asian artists in the art market and the expectation of further market growth in the future, Whitestone Gallery Co., Ltd has decided to establish galleries in in Singapore, China, and Korea in 2023.

Since its opening in Ginza, Tokyo in 1967, Whitestone has established itself as an art gallery that can compete with the world. It is one of the most pioneering galleries in Asia, introducing contemporary and up-and-coming young artists, including works by the Gutai Art Association, which is an essential part of postwar Japanese art history.

Whitestone Gallery Singapore is located on the 5th floor of the Tanjong Pagar Distripark. The building houses the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) and other galleries.

The very first exhibition, "We love Singapore", will showcase new works dedicated solely for this exhibition represented by Whitestone's artists, including works by leading Japanese artists from the postwar period to present day. Parallel to the main collection, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Etsu Egami, who has won international attention will be held in celebration.

At the grand opening in the spring of 2023, the interior will be redesigned by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma.
