What Rossi & Rossi does

Rossi & Rossi is a privately held art gallery and dealer founded in 1985 by Anna Maria Rossi in London, now operating dual physical spaces in London and Hong Kong with a headcount of 11-50. The business operates two complementary programs: a classical dealing arm focused on Indian and Himalayan art (bronzes, thangka paintings, manuscripts, and ritual objects from Tibet, Nepal, India, Mongolia, and Central Asia), and a contemporary art arm launched in 2005 that represents artists such as Slavs and Tatars, Ha Bik Chuen, Tsherin Sherpa, and Naiza Khan. Sales occur through curated gallery exhibitions, an online showroom for classical works, an online shop for publications and apparel, and regular participation in the world's leading art fairs including Art Basel Hong Kong, TEFAF Maastricht, Fine Art Asia, Artissima, and Abu Dhabi Art.

Pricing spans a wide range: classical art pieces from USD 2,000 to USD 15,000+ (with institutional-grade inventory reaching materially higher undisclosed sums), exhibition catalogues from USD 23-65, and specialty scholarly publications such as 'Tibetan Tulkus: Images of Continuity' at USD 130. Beyond primary sales, the gallery produces scholarly publications and contributes to institutional exhibitions (e.g., Rubin Museum's 'Tradition Transformed') that reinforce its academic positioning.

The customer base splits between globally renowned museums — including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, M+ Hong Kong, National Palace Museum Taipei, Ashmolean Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, and Tokyo National Museum — and private collectors, with additional reach to art enthusiasts through exhibitions and social media. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the business operates as a family entity under Fabio Rossi's stewardship following Anna Maria Rossi's death in January 2025.
