Galleri Astley was founded in the fall of 1968 in Köping. In may of 1977, the gallery to was moved to Uttersberg. The splendid, old railway station built in 1897 was filled with art and the famous Russian-American artist Ernst Neizvestny took part in the grand opening exhibition. The Gallery is comprised of six rooms in varied format and has a total space of 140 sq.m. We arrange 10-12 exhibitions a year.


Between the gallery and the museum lies the sculpture park featuring an authentic Haida totem pole carved in place and raised by Don Yeomans. Here are also two massive granite sculptures by the Japanese artist Takashi Naraha as well as 20 or so works by a variety of artists such as. Veikko Keränen, Claes Hake, Pierre Olofsson, Karl-Erik Häggblad, Olle Bonniér, Alf Olsson, Sam Westerholm, L-E Falk, Nils G. Stenqvist och PG Thelander.

In January of 1994 Galleri Astley opened its Printmaking workshop. The first guest artist to make a print was Svante Rydberg when he made his first serigraph. The shop has grown since then to include an intaglio press and a letterpress. We produce 6 to 12 original editions a year. Though we do not posses the capability of making Lithograph's at this time, we have many editions in our collection, some of which can be seen by clicking the "Original Prints" button on the Main Menu to the left. We even have a large selection of prints from other Swedish and international artist not shown here. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Joan Vennum and Ted Kurahara
Paintings and Prints

Joan Vennum, Later, 29 x 24", Oil on Canvas, 2001
JOAN VENNUM’S paintings employ delicate cursive strokes to express the infinitude of space. Her gestural, looping lines create a veil of ephemeral color, through which the viewer sees the illusion of something limitless, without beginning or end. There is a shimmering tension between fragility and strength in Vennum’s pieces; borne from the artist’s love for detail as well as for the sweeping language of Abstract Expressionism. Vennum is a native of New York and has exhibited throughout the United States, Europe and India. She has exhibited or is in the collection of many important art institutions including: Columbia University Library, New York, New York; the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York; The New York Public Library, New York, New York; the Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo, New York; the Maryland Institute, Baltimore, Maryland; the Konstmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden; Galleri Astley, Uttersberg, Sweden; and the Museo Civico, Taverna, Italy.
