We stumbled across Artevistas Gallery as we wondered through Barcelona--falling in love with a…read morepicture displayed in the front window. The piece was large and expensive (although very well-priced for the quality and size), and my husband and I weren't quite ready to make a decision. We were also nervous to deal with a business we had no knowledge of, involving significant funds and shipping overseas. We talked to one of the gallery associates, Chimera, who took my email address and said she would email me a photo of the piece as we considered its purchase. Chimera followed through exactly as she said she would. She made the process so seamless and took the fear out of buying a rather expensive item while traveling in a foreign country and getting it efficiently and safely transported. It arrived in less time than expected in perfect condition, and we are thrilled with the entire transaction.

Our gallery specializes in the promotion of young talents, and we are betting that many of the artists we support will be the great talents of tomorrow. Contemporary, our collection includes over 800 original works, including paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures. The collection is being renewed constantly. More than 50 artists, emerging or more established, work with us, and constitute an eclectic set of styles, techniques and universes. The uniqueness of each artist, his or her own absolutely recognizable identity, is one of our key selection criteria. Artevistas Gallery took up residence at number 4 of Passatge del Credit, a unique and iconic place for its architectural interest, located between Las Ramblas and Sant Jaume Square, in the same building where painter Joan Miró was born.

Wandering through the maze that is Barcelona, I came across this art gallery. The gentleman (of…read morewhich I can't remember his name now since I've waited over a month to write this!) was incredibly helpful and patient. I came home with 3 pieces, but could have easily purchased more had I had room in my luggage. I purchased 3 of the small box frames displaying street art and absolutely love them! One was intended as a gift, but it fit too perfectly in my display. My next time to BCN, I will definitely be back for more.

While I initially was thrilled with this art gallery, I have recently learned that a lot of the art…read moreis replicated from small artists without their permission. I'm all for being a conscious consumer, so even though I enjoyed visiting the gallery- when I learned about the owner's practices I was disappointed and can no longer recommend this business. Most of the art consists of photographs of Barcelona that are set into deep frames, and then cut and styled so that the image has a 3-d element to it-- this is a common style of art I have seen around Barcelona (for cheaper than Maxó's 23€ too) so these pieces are probably original?

He was willing to swap out frames multiple times. It was painless. He made the experience enjoyable. You could tell he loved the job.

This is a great poster store, and that's all there really is to it…read more The quantity of posters that poster stores have always impresses me, and once again, they have tons of posters. You can find almost any theme and almost any size which is nice. My only real issue with the store, is that there isn't much material that seems to be one of a kind, but I guess that in a poster store, there really isn't meant to be that type of stuff. There are two rooms. The first, main one, has mainstream classics like Bob Marley in three colors, Andy Warhol, and Marilyn Monroe, along with music, movies, and TV shows. The second room has nature pictures, paintings (some of 'em in giant sizes), and other more art-world related things. They have a great selection of postcards, which consists of lots of Gold Age of Hollywood actors and actresses, along with more generic Barcelona pictures. The staff is really really nice, even though most of the time in their in the back and there's no one at the counter, which bothers me, but that's just me. Anyways, this is a great place, and it's where I always go to get posters for presents or for myself. Above all, walk around, look at everything, and enjoy!
