ato – Because art doesn't have to be elitist, but real, accessible, and full of meaning.




ato is an innovative art gallery that sells contemporary works by both emerging and established artists. We focus on a personal approach: our art agents offer individual consultations to buyers, breaking down barriers—making art accessible even to newcomers. We’re rethinking the role of the gallery by representing artists holistically—not just through their works, but also through their ideas. Our agency harnesses this creativity to develop fresh impulses, for example, for companies.

Collaboration over competition – Diversity as a strength



ato was founded by seven individuals from vastly different backgrounds—art, business, and IT. What unites us is a shared vision: to make the art world fairer, smarter, and more sustainable—and to elevate its rightful place in society. Seven minds may sound like a lot, but it’s part of our formula for success. At ato, collaboration isn’t just an option—it’s a core principle. We believe true innovation happens when diverse perspectives come together. That belief is deeply rooted in our DNA.
