Galleria Lorcan O'Neill opened in Rome in 2003 as a space for international contemporary art in a city famously rich in art history. Located in a former car-repair shop in Trastevere, early exhibitions were dedicated to first-time shows in Rome by international artists such as Jeff Wall, Richard Long, Tracey Emin, Rachel Whiteread, Martin Creed, Gary Hume and Anselm Kiefer. In addition to these artists, the gallery now provides support and visibility to noted Italian artists such as Luigi Ontani and Emilio Prini; as well as to younger artists: Manfredi Beninati, Pietro Ruffo, Masbedo, Carsten Nicolai; and more recently to a new generation - Eddie Peake, Prem Sahib, and Juliana Cerqueira-Leite. In 2008 a second space was opened specially for site-specific works, films, and installations. In the fall of 2013 the gallery will open a large new exhibition space near Piazza Farnese in former Renaissance stables.
