Tanya Leighton

Tanya Leighton is a contemporary art gallery with spaces in Berlin and Los Angeles, representing over thirty artists and estates. The gallery presents exhibitions, talks, publications, and events, and participates in international art fairs to advocate for emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Alongside fostering artistic careers, Tanya Leighton recontextualises historical practices, bringing marginalised figures into focus within contemporary discourse.

Founded in 2008 with its first space on Berlin’s Kurfürstenstrasse, the gallery has since become a leading platform for international contemporary art. In 2015, a second Berlin location opened, followed by the expansion to Los Angeles in 2021.

Founded by Sarah Dorweiler, Aesence is an independent editorial publication dedicated to minimalist art and design.
