In September 2007, Wilkinson Gallery moved to a new space in Vyner Street, E2. The 6000 sq ft (560 sq m) building designed by Bobby Desai, Creative Director of Clarke : Desai, is the first purpose built gallery in E2 now famous for its thriving contemporary art gallery scene. The gallery has two museum size gallery spaces for the main programme plus a project space for the development of a parallel programme of experimental one off projects and collaborations with other international public and private art organisations.
Wilkinson opened in 1998 on Bethnal Green’s Cambridge Heath Road in the heart of the East End of London. Anthony Wilkinson started in the mid 90s curating shows in temporary spaces and alternative venues and also ran a project space in central London. In 2000 he joined with co-director Amanda Wilkinson.
Since 1998 the gallery has grown to represent many international artists and has developed the careers of less established artists to international status.
