Sansiao Contemporary

In 2025, Sansiao Contemporary will take a new approach to presenting art, building on 40 years of experience in contemporary art.

Established in 1984 as a contemporary art gallery in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, it has operated as Sansiao Gallery since 2016. Following the closure of its Tokyo space in December 2024, it will continue as Sansiao Contemporary from 2025.

Sansiao Contemporary will focus on the sale of its collection of over 4,000 works, aiming to bring contemporary art to a wider audience.

Meanwhile, Sansiao Gallery HK will remain open as a space for artistic and cultural exchange. Showcasing works by artists from Japan, Hong Kong and beyond, it will continue to foster new connections. Located in Central, Hong Kong, it aims to bring people together across cultures and generations.

As it moves into this next phase, Sansiao Contemporary remains dedicated to contemporary art.
