Peder Lund, a seasoned figure in the world of art, started his career in the 1990s as an art dealer, curator, and gallerist. In 2009, he took a bold step after two decades in the art dealership industry by establishing his own gallery. His primary goal was to foster a more engaging dialogue with the Norwegian and Scandinavian public while enhancing Oslo's global prominence in the art scene. This vision revolved around showcasing modern and contemporary art crafted by internationally acclaimed artists. The gallery's exhibition program is meticulously crafted and executed through close collaboration with the artists themselves, their main galleries, and artist estates.

The exhibition lineup at Peder Lund is remarkably diverse, encompassing photography, installations, sculptures, and paintings. Notably, Lund has collaborated with an impressive roster of artists, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Louise Bourgeois, Isa Genzken, Roni Horn, Ed Ruscha, Catherine Opie, Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelley, and Ida Ekblad, among others. With this wide array of artists, Peder Lund aims to provide a comprehensive and multifaceted view of contemporary art to the Scandinavian audience.
