About Baró Galeria

  • Founded by Maria Baró in São Paulo in 1999, Baró is an international contemporary art gallery now also based in Palma de Mallorca. Since its inception, and through its international artist program, Baró Galeria opens dialogues between artists from different contexts and origins in the local scenes where the gallery has been present, cultivating a cross-pollination of ideas and advancing the significant role of art in shaping our society.
     
    Within the 20 years leading the art scene in Sao Paulo, Baro Galeria became one of the most important venues for contemporary art in Brazil and Latin America, fostering exhibitions for the most exciting international artists such as: Christian Boltanski, Dennis Oppenheim, Lygia Clark, Elvio Oiticica , David Medalla, Tatiana Trouvé, Roman Signer, Song Dong, among others
  • Due to the changes in behavior and values caused by the pandemic crisis, Maria Baró detected a paradigm shift and decided to return to her Mediterranean origins. Her first move brought her to Madrid in 2018, opening Baró House in an iconic building from the 60’s. Subsequently, the opening of the Art Gallery in Palma de Mallorca.  

    The Balearic Islands are revealing themselves as a great cultural pole and artistic production attracting more and more artists, collectors and galleries that are established or develop their practice on the island. A bold and visionary move, dear to the spirit of Maria Baró, to reignite the Mediterranean Art scene and a strategic hub to foster the conversation with the Global South and its practices, as an attempt at thinking outside the parameters of the art canon historically established on the European and North American axis.

     

    The art gallery in Palma de Mallorca is situated in a classified historical building in the old town, on the Carrer de Can Sanç near the renowned Can Joan de s’Aigo. The building was built on the early S.12 and kept evolving until the S.17, as the testimony of the evolution of Palma's social and economic activity from the late Mediterranean Gothic to the Renaissance style arriving from Italy. The space of over 1000 sq.mts organized in three exhibition spaces, features Gothic arches, Renaissance details, and a hidden garden crowned by a magnificent centenary Palm tree.
