Weng Contemporary

Weng Contemporary, often abbreviated to WENG, has established itself as an influential player in the art world, specializing in high-end contemporary art. Founded in 2014 in Zug, Switzerland, by seasoned art collectors and entrepreneurs Carine Weng and Pierre Lorinet, the gallery quickly garnered attention for its curated collection of artworks by prominent contemporary artists.

The gallery's inception marked a significant moment in the art market, offering exclusive limited editions and original works by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons. WENG's strategic location in Switzerland, a country historically known for its discretion and efficiency in the finance and art sectors, enabled the gallery to build a robust network of clients and collaborators from its early days.

Carine Weng's background in law and Pierre Lorinet's experience in international finance have profoundly influenced the gallery’s structured approach to art dealings. This unique blend of art passion and business acumen has positioned WENG as a reputable source for rare and valuable contemporary art pieces. Their approach to maintaining transparency in transactions and ensuring the authenticity and provenance of their offerings has contributed significantly to their reputation.

Historical milestones in the gallery’s journey include their significant exhibitions and partnerships with prominent museums and art institutions globally. In 2017, WENG sponsored a monumental retrospective of Yayoi Kusama at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. This event not only solidified their commitment to supporting artists but also marked their role in bringing major art exhibitions to a broader audience.

In keeping with the digital age's advancements, WENG launched a sophisticated online platform in 2018, expanding their global reach and making it easier for collectors worldwide to access and acquire high-quality art pieces. Their innovative approach has revolutionized how contemporary art is marketed and distributed, ensuring that they remain a significant force in the contemporary art scene.
