Larsen Warner, in its various guises, has been home to innovative, singular, and pioneering exhibitions across a variety of media and genres over the past 30 years. Active in both the primary and secondary markets, Larsen Warner presents a dynamic exhibition programme of both emerging and established artists from Scandinavia as well as a strong focus on presenting influential and important international artists to a Swedish audience.

Larsen Warner is thrilled to present the opening reception of the solo exhibition from the estate of New York-based Finnish artist Iria Leino (b.1932, Helsinki – d. 2022, NYC) which compliments our solo booth of Leino's pioneering work at Market Art Fair (Booth 51). For a temporary period between 13 May – 14 June, the gallery will take over the renowned gallery space at Hudiksvallsgatan 8 which was previously home to Galerie Nordenhake, with a solo exhibition of Iria Leino’s groundbreaking abstract painting. The exhibition will mark the posthumous discovery of a virtually unknown artist who created a prolific body of work in solitude for over 40 years and whose work is now garnering international acclaim and helping to cement Leino as one of the most important Scandinavian artistic discoveries in the past 50 years.
