Zipper Galeria

What Zipper Galeria does

Zipper Galeria is a privately held contemporary art gallery headquartered at R. Estados Unidos 1494, Jardim America, São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2010 and operating with 1–10 employees. The gallery represents a roster of Brazilian contemporary artists, curates physical exhibitions in its São Paulo space, and sells works directly to collectors through the gallery, online viewing rooms, and participation in major Brazilian art fairs including SP-Arte and ArtRio. Its represented artists have works placed in leading institutional collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, MASP, MAM-SP, MAR, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, MAC USP, Itaú Cultural, and Museu de Arte da Pampulha, providing third-party validation of the catalog.

The business operates a multi-tier product surface. The primary market is gallery representation and exhibition sales. Zipper Open is a secondary-market extension selling authenticated works by established Brazilian artists sourced from private collections on a transaction-fee basis. Zip'Up is an emerging-artist program functioning as a talent pipeline into the main roster. Distribution runs through the physical gallery, online viewing rooms, the Artsy marketplace, a recent Vortic integration for the "Brasil em Camadas" collective, and content channels including a Substack publication, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

The technology stack is built on the Artlogic gallery management SaaS, which powers the website, inventory, and online viewing rooms. Sales are inquiry-based with no publicly disclosed pricing; collectors engage via contact form, WhatsApp, or direct consultation. Revenue is generated through one-time primary-market artwork sales and secondary-market transaction fees. The gallery is independently owned with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no external institutional investment identified.
