Some of the best art you will see in Australia, artists like, Julia Da Ville, Michael Zavros, Danie Mellor, Selena Ou, and currently Vera Möller. Also Nicholas Harding and a whole raft of younger artists. Its low key and not at all pretentious. Edwin the gallery manager is a delight. Richmond is hard to find a car park, so public transport is the best.

This is the first of the galleries in Albert Street there are four more on this very short street in Richmond. Albert Street is a good place to start if you want to see some of the best, new contemporary art in Melbourne. The gallery has several large windows at the front giving people walking by a preview of the art within. It is an elegantly converted former factory space with white walls, high ceilings, track lighting and polished concrete floors. There is an office/reception area at the front and a stock room somewhere out the back, but it’s not open to the public. As a commercial gallery it represents many notable, contemporary Australian artists including sculptor and taxidermist Julia deVille, painter Michael Zavros and photographer Selina Ou. There are monthly exhibitions from the artists represented in the gallery.
