Gazelli Art House Baku

Gazelli Art House provides a new setting for Contemporary art whilst delivering the message of the finest international artists to a wide audience of both new and established collectors. The gallery invites individuals to engage with Contemporary art on a deeper level through bespoke events - building on dialogues and relationships between artist, writers, specialists, students, and novices through exhibitions, talks, workshops and tours. In October 2012, Gazelli Art House reopened its exhibition space in Baku, Azerbaijan, where the gallery was once active in 2003. Implementing the exhibition programme from London, the gallery focuses on bringing and showcasing only international artists in the region, engaging further with a wider audience, and providing a platform for international dialogue. The founder and Director of Gazelli Art House, Mila Askarova was born and raised in Azerbaijan before moving to Istanbul and later settling in London. Upon successful completion of her International Relations BSc degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Mila worked at Sotheby’s in the Client Development department while curating a number of exhibitions in Baku and Istanbul. She then managed the PR and Communication of a commercial art gallery in London, before focusing on curating and private art dealing. During her active years on the art market, Mila studied at Central Saint Martins and Christie’s Education, gaining a theoretical insight into Collecting Contemporary Art, Independent Curating and Art Business.
