Show Opening 27 April, 7pm. Arctatte Loule, Portugal

Artcatto is the brainchild of Gillian Catto, who after 30 successful years as the owner of an internationally recognised and respected Gallery in London, decided to settle in the Algarve.

Gillian Catto developed a reputation, which is second to none. She was responsible for launching the careers of artists who have subsequently become household names, such as Jack Vettriano. His solo exhibition at her Gallery helped to create a global demand for his work, which skyrocketed in value virtually overnight.

There are many artists who owe a debt of gratitude to Gillian, whose gallery became a byword for quality artwork. The gallery’s success had a lot to do with her personal style. The gallery was a haven for an eclectic and interesting group of people who would gather to see the latest exhibition on show.
