About

Carl Kostyál opened his eponymous gallery at no. 12A Savile Row, London W1 in 2010 and in Stockholm in 2013. In May 2021 the Gallery opened its new 400 square metre permanent space in Stockholm, Hospitalet. In May 2025, Carl Kostyál announced the opening of a new space in Landmark South, Hong Kong. This venture contributes to the area's ongoing artistic dialogue and further enhance Wong Chuk Hang's reputation as a frontrunning Asian destination for contemporary art.

Known for identifying talent and supporting artists to develop their careers internationally, Kostyál staged the first major European exhibitions of Austin Lee, Szabolcs Bozó, Camilla Engström, Alex Israel, Alex Da Corte, Gina Beavers, Peter Coffin, Petra Cortright, Sara Cwynar, Oli Epp, Al Freeman, Alexander Guy, Charles Harlan, Yu Honglei, Helen Marten, David Ostrowski, Jon Rafman, Li Shurui, Gedi Sibony, Timur Si Qin, Austyn Weiner, Wang Yuyang and Zhao Zhao, amongst many others. The Gallery has staged exhibitions of long-established artists Imre Bak, Tibor Gayor, Dóra Maurer, John Millei, Peter Schuyff and Jan Ziemski.

In addition to the London and Stockholm programme and the off-site projects, Kostyál runs two invitational artist residency programmes, Fontana di Vita in Matera, Basilicata, and CARs at Mohilef Studios in Los Angeles, in collaboration with artist Canyon Castator and hosts an invitational Draw Jam each summer in the south of Italy.

Kostyál has strong links to a number of institutions, most specifically the Albright Knox Museum in Buffalo, New York, Louisiana Museum in Denmark and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, to whom Kostyál has both effected and personally contributed over thirty acquisitions over the last decade, including Alex Israel, Wade Guyton, Joe Bradley, Helen Marten, Katya Novitskova, Alex Da Corte among many others.
