Jecza Gallery
Jecza Gallery, located in Timișoara, Romania, is among the country's most respected art galleries outside Bucharest. Established in 2011 as a family venture by Sorina Ianovici-Jecza and Andrei Jecza, the gallery focuses on contemporary art spanning from the 1960s to today. It manages and promotes the artistic legacy of sculptor Péter Jecza.
History
[edit]Jecza Gallery was founded initially as a family business in 2011 by Sorina Ianovici-Jecza and Andrei Jecza. The gallery had from the outset a strong propensity for the local art scene, very important in the 1960s and 1970s (the Sigma group among others).[1][2]
Together with an art foundation and a publishing house established in 2001, the gallery has evolved into a prominent research hub dedicated to the legacy of modern and contemporary art in Eastern Europe.[3]
In 2018, Andrei Jecza assumed leadership of the gallery, rebranding it while expanding its exhibition program and artist portfolio.
In 2025, it opened a second space in Bucharest with the exhibition of contemporary Romanian painter Marius Bercea.[4] In the same year, three vintage photographic collages by Iosif Király were acquired by MoMA from the Jecza Gallery.[5]
