Victoria Miro
Miro is one of the veterans of the BritArt scene, and dealer to such artists as Chris Ofili (Turner prize-winner 1998)Peter Doig, the German artist Andreas Gursky,  

Thomas Demand, and American video artist and photographer Doug Aitkin. Her Cork Street Gallery opened in 1985, and was the first to showcase Ofili's infamous elephant dung paintings. Not only does Miro have a talent for spotting good young artists but she has also been on the forefront when it comes to architecture. The minimalist supremo Claudio Silvestrin designed her first gallery, and her new space is truly impressive; an enormous 10,000 square foot space on the edges of Shoreditch - an area rapidly becoming the centre of London's artworld. The building is worth a visit alone and the shows inside have so far matched it for quality.
