Contemporary Art Gallery

Gow Langsford is New Zealand’s leading art dealer. For over 35 years, the gallery has fostered and promoted the best contemporary art from New Zealand and abroad, cultivating an engaged audience and collector base. With its primary presence in central Auckland, directly opposite Auckland Art Gallery, Gow Langsford has become an integral part of the country’s cultural landscape.

In early 2024, Gow Langsford launched its flagship premises in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga. The facility is one of the largest commercial art spaces in Australasia, and includes premium gallery spaces, studios for promising artists, and an extensive visual arts library. The building was originally commissioned in 1958 by Polish businesswoman, philanthropist, and arts patron, Helena Rubinstein. Gow Langsford has extensively refurbished the site, ensuring that its best features have been preserved while the building has been tastefully modernised.

Gow Langsford represents more than thirty established artists. This includes many of New Zealand’s best, along with a number of leading international artists. The gallery has successfully presented over 500 exhibitions, significantly influencing the market for and discourse around contemporary art in New Zealand. It has played a significant role in shaping the careers of many of New Zealand’s most well-known artists.
