A gallery in the Vinhomes Golden River complex that selects paintings for their "poetry and calm", and also offers art advisory, publishing and an art podcast.
Gallery from the Localis platform
Vy Gallery is a gallery on the ground floor, shophouse A3.004, Aqua 3 block, Vinhomes Golden River, 02 Ton Duc Thang, Ben Nghe ward, District 1, right in the city centre, inside a modern complex rather than a traditional shophouse. The gallery defines its work quite precisely: seeking out and preserving paintings that are poetic and calm, focused on Vietnamese beauty and culture - a clear selection criterion, different from galleries oriented towards experiment or conceptual art. The space is described as a multi-storey building displaying many kinds of work, arranged in small thematic clusters of sculpture, books, paintings, photographs and abstract pieces. Beyond displaying and selling work, Vy Gallery does three things few galleries in Vietnam do at once: advising individual clients on choosing paintings, publishing, and producing an art podcast. The team states its mission as honouring artists and connecting kindred spirits, helping Vietnamese painting become better known. The gallery opens Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00 to 19:00 - long hours that include weekends, more convenient than many other galleries - and admission is free. Practical details: the address is ground floor, shophouse A3.004, Aqua 3 block, Vinhomes Golden River, 02 Ton Duc Thang, Ben Nghe, District 1; open Tuesday to Sunday 09:00-19:00, closed Monday; hotline 0915.086.611; admission free; more at vygallery.com. The place suits people who want to buy a painting for their home, those who like Vietnamese painting of a lyrical kind, and visitors in the centre who want a quick stop; it is not the place if you are looking for experimental art or contemporary installation, since the focus here is different. It can be combined with Bach Dang Wharf, Ba Son and the central District 1 area nearby. Note that the gallery closes on Mondays, sits inside a secured complex - so staff need to confirm entry procedures and parking - and, as a commercial gallery with works displayed for sale, visitors should not touch the paintings.
