Founded in 2016 by Rakeb Sile and Mesai Haileleul, Addis Fine Art is a pioneering gallery based in Addis Ababa and London. Described as one of the "Most Important Young Galleries in the World" (Artsy 2019) and the “Ethiopian Gallery Enriching a Global Art Conversation” (New York Times 2019), it is the very first white cube space and international platform based in Ethiopia. The gallery focuses on highlighting modern and contemporary fine art from the Horn of Africa region and its Diasporas. In its short history, Addis Fine Art has become one of the leading galleries from Africa, facilitating critical engagement with the local and international art markets, championing an underrepresented yet rich space in modern and contemporary fine art.
