GALLERI RAMFJORD

What GALLERI RAMFJORD does

Galleri Ramfjord is an Oslo-based contemporary art gallery operating as a private Norwegian limited company (Galleri Ramfjord AS, org. nr 993 763 233) and founded in 1998. The gallery represents an international roster of contemporary artists including Johan Söderström, Era Leisner, Peter Sutton, Mai Lashauri, Morteza Khosravi, Gabriel Schmitz, Ingebjørg Støyva, Andre Lundquist, and Valeria Vaccaro, spanning figurative, surrealist, material-based, and narrative painting styles. Sales channels include a fixed-price online shop, an online auction platform with real-time bidding functionality, periodic physical exhibitions, and international art fair participation (notably VOLTA Basel 2026). Physical venues comprise the main gallery and Project Room at Schwensens Gate 1 in Oslo's St. Hanshaugen area, plus a secondary venue called Villa Utsikten.

The business operates on a consignment model: the gallery sells artworks on behalf of artists, retaining a commission, with ownership of artworks remaining with the artist until full payment. A 5% art fee is added to all sales within Norway and remitted to BKH (Bildende Kunstneres Hjelpefond, the Visual Artists' Fund). No VAT is charged. Payment options include Visa/MasterCard with a 3% processing fee, invoicing, or in-gallery card payment. Worldwide shipping is available via postal service or specialized art transportation to the customer's door, and custom framing is offered as an add-on for two-dimensional works. Artwork prices range from approximately 4,000 NOK to 285,000 NOK, with auction starting bids typically lower than gallery list prices.

The target customer base is primarily individual art collectors (first-time through experienced) acquiring work for personal collections, interior decoration, or investment purposes, with a secondary segment of corporate buyers seeking artwork for offices, corporate collections, or hospitality settings. The gallery operates year-round with standard hours Thursday-Friday 12:00-18:00 and Saturday-Sunday 12:00-16:00, with adjusted summer hours. No AI, API, or proprietary technology stack is disclosed; the core technological assets are a content-managed e-commerce and auction website (galleriramfjord.no) and the physical gallery infrastructure.

Revenue model

1. Art Sales Commission: The gallery sells artworks on behalf of artists, retaining a 5% art fee to BKH (Visual Artists' Fund) on sales within Norway. Ownership of artworks remains with the artist until full payment is received. This is a consignment-based model with one-time transaction revenue.
2. Online Auctions: The gallery operates online auctions where buyers bid on artworks. Auctions run for specified periods with starting bids, and the gallery earns revenue through the sale price minus the artist commission structure.
3. Framing Services: Optional framing services offered to customers for 2-dimensional artworks, providing additional revenue from customization services.
