Geschiedenis

The gallery was founded in 1988 as Galerie Meert Rihoux, and changed its name in 2006 to Galerie Greta Meert, after its founding director, Greta Meert.

Since its initial opening with work by Thomas Struth, the gallery has focussed its programme of exhibitions around three strands: the ‘new’ photography originating in the 80's is represented by Thomas Struth, Louise Lawler, Vancouver School artists (Jeff Wall, Ken Lum, Ian Wallace) and John Baldessari. A second strand comprises a generation of Minimal and Conceptual artists from the 70's: Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Richard Tuttle, Robert Barry, Hanne Darboven, Niele Toroni.

Next to these established artists, the gallery has also committed itself to rediscovering artists from that same generation such as Carla Accardi, Enrico Castellani, Peter Joseph, Fred Sandback, Gianfranco Baruchello, Shirley Jaffe. Finally, the gallery’s more prospective strand comprises work by a young Italian generation – Liliana Moro, Eva Marisaldi , Mario Airò, Grazia Toderi- , and young Belgian artists – Sylvie Eyberg, Sophie Nys, Catharina Van Eetvelde, Koen van den Broek.
