Regina Gallery is one of the first private art galleries in Moscow, founded by Regina and Vladimir Ovcharenko in 1990. Since its very first steps the Gallery has been supporting and promoting contemporary art as well as commissioning works of different. The main goal of the Gallery consists in searching and developing new tendencies which emerge in the Russian art context.

Through the first half of the 1990s Regina Gallery provided an ideal platform for various kinds of artistic experiment, supported young and emerging artists, while presenting solo shows by non-conformist artists of the 70s generation (Semion Faibisovich, Boris Orlov, Andrey Monastyrsky).

In 1996 American curator Dan Cameron, in collaboration with Regina Gallery, presented the exhibition “On Beauty”, where the works by Mariko Mori, Pierre et GillesMike Kelley, Gabriel Orozco and other international artists were shown for the first time in Russia. For some of the artists, who by now have established themselves as top-line artists of contemporary art scene, the “On Beauty” project happened to be one of the first international exhibitions they participated in.

Today the Gallery puts a priority on promotion of young artists, from Russia and from the ex-USSR. At the same time Regina Gallery is developing a fruitful collaboration with artists long established on the Russian art scene (Ivan Chuykov, Semion Faibisovich, Sergey Bratkov, Pavel Pepperstein, Victor Alimpiev).

The Gallery artists were repeatedly invited to take part in the Moscow, Sao Paolo and Venice biennales and regularly collaborates with Russian, Ukrainian and European Museums.
