Galleri Susanne Ottesen
Copenhagen
Galleri Susanne Ottesen was founded in 1983 by Susanne Ottesen.
Upon its foundation, the gallery was one of a small number of pioneering galleries in Denmark to champion a generation of local and international artists who were transforming the way art was thought, made and presented. Over the past thirty years, Galleri Susanne Ottesen has been building on this foundation, identifying and supporting succeeding generations of artists, each with a radical and distinctive approach to the possibilities of art.
