Gow Langsford Gallery, Commercial art gallery in Auckland, New Zealand
Gow Langsford Gallery is a commercial art gallery in Auckland with two locations presenting paintings, sculptures, and photographs. One space sits near the city's main art institution, while the other offers significantly more room in a transformed industrial district.
The gallery opened in 1987 starting from a modest converted space before relocating to a prominent central address a few years later. This move helped establish it as a serious presence in the city's art scene.
The space brings together artists from different generations and backgrounds, creating a meeting point for contemporary art conversations. Visitors can observe how various artistic approaches coexist within the galleries, reflecting the way people engage with art across cultures and time periods.
The main location sits on a busy street easily reached on foot, while the other venue occupies a converted industrial building that is best accessed by car. Both spaces operate independently and each has its own rhythm and character.
A recent expansion added one of the largest commercial art buildings in the region with artist studios and a visual arts library within the same complex. This growth shows how the space evolved from its humble converted origins into something with serious depth.
