Upsilon Gallery is a modern and contemporary art gallery founded in 2016 in New York by Marcelo Zimmler. The gallery’s collection focuses on unique artworks and limited edition prints by internationally renowned artists. Modern art refers to works from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, while Contemporary art reflects global and technological changes in the late 20th and 21st centuries ^[1], ^[2].

With galleries in New York and London and an office in Miami, the gallery is also known for its art historical research, producing exhibition catalogues, monographs, and related materials for collectors and the public. Upsilon Gallery routinely participates in notable international art fairs across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

• 2016: Upsilon Gallery opened its first location on 57th Street, New York, marking its commitment to contemporary art and prints ^[3].
• 2017: The gallery expanded with a Miami office and launched its fine print program.
• 2019: Upsilon Gallery opened its first international office in London and introduced Phi Auction, a digital auction platform.

• 2024: The gallery opened a flagship location in Mayfair, London, extending its international presence ^[5], ^[6].

The gallery's name is inspired by the Greek letter "upsilon," a symbol used by Pythagoras to represent paths and infinite possibilities, reflecting its focus on creative potential ^[7].

• The New Look: Upsilon Gallery seeks to reintroduce artists who have achieved recognition but may not have sustained visibility in global markets. The gallery aims to expand exposure through exhibitions and publications ^[8].
• Broader Horizons: Focused on supporting underrepresented artists and groups in the art world, this initiative includes solo exhibitions and wider exposure for artists from diverse backgrounds, including overlooked female artists from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as LGBTQ+ artists. It has featured artists such as Vlad Zorin, whose works challenge traditional narratives ^[9] and ^[10]. As part of these efforts, Upsilon Gallery pledged a portion of the proceeds from sales of Zorin’s work to The Elton John AIDS Foundation, in support of its initiatives related to healthcare access and LGBTQ+ rights. ^[11]. His debut London exhibition, UNMASKED, which explored contemporary masculinity, was first held at the gallery and later moved online ^[12]. Through initiatives like this, Upsilon Gallery continues to reinforce its role in fostering inclusivity within the contemporary art scene ^[13]. The gallery's commitment to diversity is also explored in a podcast with Marcelo Zimmler ^[14].
• Limited Edition Prints: Since 2017, the gallery has produced high-quality limited edition prints, providing access to exclusive works from its represented artists.
