Upfor is a younger gallery that is serious in its intent. It has joined the Portland Art Dealers Association and has participated in Houston, NY, LA, Miami, London and Paris art fairs. That’s the widest out of town art fair participation of any Portland Gallery. They are gathering a beautiful challenging contemporary group of artists capable of being noticed far beyond Portland. They regularly present video works. They are brave in doing installations and even performance connected with the installation. A notable example was their work with MSHR, Mission Statement Human Radiance, sculpture, analog synth and performance pair artists. Based in Portland, they operate internationally. Their most recent artist went immediately to the Frye Museum in Seattle. That is why we like Upfor, they are serious about finding world class artists and exporting them to world collectors. Upfor is a two year old very contemporary art gallery that is one of Portland’s top commercial galleries.
