About the Gallery

1961 is a contemporary art gallery based in Singapore, presenting exhibitions and projects shaped by close relationships with artists and a long-term commitment to practice. The gallery’s programme brings together established voices and emerging positions, with an emphasis on rigorous making, strong visual language, and work that rewards sustained looking.

Operating as an appointment-led space, 1961 offers a viewing experience that is intentional and conversational—designed for collectors, curators, and first-time visitors alike. Beyond exhibitions, the gallery cultivates a social rhythm around art through talks, dinners, and small gatherings that allow works to be encountered in lived, contextual settings, and through dialogue rather than spectacle.

The gallery works collaboratively with artists to develop presentations that are considered and precise, while building the commercial frameworks that support practice over time. This includes careful documentation, placement with private and institutional collections, and an approach to sales that is discreet, informed, and proactive.

1961 is located at 269C New Bridge Road, Singapore 088747, and is open by appointment. For viewings, programme enquiries, or artwork availability, please contact contact@1961projects.com.
