Established in 2012, Kristin Hjellegjerde quickly gained recognition as an international gallery dedicated to exhibiting a roster of innovative, international artists,both emerging and established, with strong theoretical and aesthetic bases.
Known for its multicultural curatorial approach, the gallery has, over the past years, fostered close and cooperative relationships with museums and curators worldwide, maintaining a deep devotion to the artists it represents.
Drawing on her own international background, Kristin Hjellegjerde seeks to discover new talents by creating a platform through which they can be exposed to local and international clients. In 2019 she curated ‘Kubatana’, a museum exhibition focused on African artists at Vestfossen Kunst laboratorium, Norway. Hercuratorial approach is collaborative, working closely with other curators and collectors, as well as with developers and architects.
In April 2018 the gallery opened its second space in Berlin. Following this exciting advancement, a second space was opened in London at the vibrant central location of London Bridge. This space is due to expand its reach over the coming years. In June 2020, Kristin Hjellegjerde opened an annual summer space in thebeautiful coastal town of Nevlunghavn, Norway, followed by the opening of a second summer space at Schloss Görne, Germany, in 2021. In November 2020 Kristin Hjellegjerde joined forces with Jacqueline Goldenberg to launch JK Masters, with the intent to present secondary market artworks of a certain calibre for those who are looking for something unique and special of the highest quality and/or historic value.
