The Galleri

The Galleri

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.

The Museum
Museum

The finely restored magazine houses "the Museum". Exhibitions are varied and change regularly. They can be a mix of art from our own collection, the borrowed works of private collectors or works on loan from other museums. At Galleri Astley we have seen ancient Peruvian treasures in ceramic, antique Indonesian textiles and "Wood in Nordic Art", to name just a few of the many reasons to return again and again!.

The Graphics Room on the Museums' bottom floor shows prints of all types. Here can be found, etching and engravings, lithographs, serigraphs and woodcuts by many renowned artists. Also on the ground floor is the Café Guldmisteln (Mistletoe) with great coffee and tasty breads and cookies for those in need of a little pause.

The Park

Veikko Keränen, Claes Hake, Pierre Olofsson, Karl-Erik Häggblad, Olle Bonniér, Alf Olsson, Sam Westerholm, L-E Falk, Nils G. Stenqvist och PG Thelander.

Printmaking Workshop

pm_logo2

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.

Galleri Astley Abroad

China

Not only has Galleri Astley arranged exhibitions at other galleries and museums within Sweden, but we have taken Swedish art beyond the boundaries of our own country as well. We have worked closely with many embassies of foreinn countries on almost every continent and in doing so, have made many contacts with international artists from around the world. These cultural exchanges have allowed us the opportunity of bringing back many unique international exhibitions for the Swedish public to enjoy.
