The Gallerist
Francesc Mestre (1941-2023) was a Catalan gallerist and publicist who, from 1970, directed several art galleries in Barcelona, such as the Sala Adrià and the René Metras gallery. In 2001 he took the step of opening his own space, the Francesc Mestre Art Gallery, at Enric Granados 28.
Since 2015, the gallery has functioned online, catering to visitors by appointment for in-person visits.
Client testimonials
Francesc Mestre has been my mentor.
When I bought 35% of Galeria Adrià he was the director. And we had countless constructive conversations about art. You can say I learned from him. And I feel very proud of what he taught me.
Francesc, has always brought me good proposals from artists.
I have great confidence in your judgment.
His always timely advice, his almost permanent 'temptations', his noucentist treatment, and a way of making you feel welcome are very, very responsible for the collector who is becoming, in my case, the wide world of engraving. Without Mr. Mestre would be less enlightened and less happy.
Francesc Mestre, the gallerist, has a long career linked to contemporary art, through galleries that in the 60s and 70s were very important in the awakening of a new artistic sensibility in our country.
My modest art collection has been built up with the irreplaceable participation of Mr. Francesc Mestre. His knowledge of the world of art, artists, gallerists, from the vanguard of the 50s, is so deep and extensive that there is no resource or solution that cannot be found in his Gallery.
I had the good fortune to meet Francesc, a bunch of years ago, thanks to my passion for drawing when he opened the gallery specializing in this art. That was not another gallery, it was a place where, in addition to the treasures it exhibited, I found welcome, wisdom and, above all, a person who is all bonhomie.
