Catriona Jeffries Gallery

Catriona Jeffries Gallery is an art gallery in Vancouver that has been in operation since 1994. It focuses on the post conceptual art practices which have emerged from Vancouver and the critical relationships between these practices and particular international artists.[1] It is recognized as one of the most important commercial contemporary art galleries in Vancouver,[2] and one of the only ones that has an international reputation[3][4]

It shows work by well-known Vancouver artists such as Ian Wallace, Brian Jungen, Geoffrey Farmer.

The gallery has taken the work of Vancouver artists to curated art shows and fairs such as The Armory Show (2001), Artforum Berlin (2002), Art Basel Miami Beach (2005, 2006, 2007, 2009), Toronto International Art Fair (2005, 2008), and Art Basel (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011).[5]

When art people speak of dealer Catriona Jeffries, they invariably say one of two things. One is along the lines of, 'She's doing for her artists what other dealers in Canada can't.' The other, usually heard from international types eager to show off their cultist, intimate knowledge of the Vancouver scene, is, 'It's the only commercial gallery that matters in Canada.'
