Galleria d'Arte Ottocento

Data and contact details

Ottocento Art Gallery is a place where collectors passionate about artistic practices developed in Italy through the centuries up until now, meet each other. Founded by Alessio Ponti in 1997 in the hearth of the inner city of Rome, the exhibition space has become, along the last years, a reference point for collectors, academics and people simply interested in Italian art.

The experience and the competence acquired not only with the artworks, different for dating and technical executions, buying and selling, often with important Italian museums, but also with the series of exhibitions staged in the spaces of the gallery since 2001, embody a high quality brand of artworks proposed.

The Gallery’s website, constantly updated, shows itself as a virtual showcase of the activities carried out by the owner: it proposes, indeed, every month new artworks – paintings, sculptures, graphic works, photographs – in the section dedicated to the recent acquisitions.

The web surfing on Ottocento.it let users verify the Gallery’s variety of interests, focused on the research of unpublished artworks, coming from private collections, examples of an Italian art which has maintained its allure intact over the centuries.        

The artworks available for sale in Ottocento Art Gallery can be found, as well as in the renewed exhibition double space, example of a balanced contamination between the Italian painting of the 19th century and the various artistic expressions of the 20th century, within two special areas, expressly created on the website: Recent Acquisitions, containing the artworks proposed in the last six months, while the Artworks section guests the complete catalogue, divided in the three following categories: 19th century Paintings, 19th century Sculptures, Modern and Contemporary Art.
