Included in 4 tours
Baku
Gazelli Art House
A contemporary gallery with spaces in both Baku and London, bridging the Azerbaijani and international scenes.
Photograph of Gazelli Art House, to be added
Gazelli Art House operates in both Baku and London, which gives its programme an unusually international character for the local scene.
It shows contemporary work by Azerbaijani artists alongside international names, and the dual-city model means Azerbaijani artists get exposure abroad that would otherwise be hard to arrange.
The programme
Exhibitions rotate and span contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and digital work. The London connection means the programming is often more experimental than elsewhere in the city.
As with any commercial gallery, check what is currently showing before planning a visit, and expect a closed door during installation periods between shows.
Highlights
- Spaces in both Baku and London
- Contemporary Azerbaijani artists alongside international names
- Often the most experimental programming in the city
Frequently asked questions
Where can I see contemporary Azerbaijani art in Baku?
Gazelli Art House and YAY Gallery both show contemporary work on rotating programmes. For a permanent collection of Azerbaijani avant-garde and contemporary art, the Baku Museum of Modern Art is the more substantial option.
