Publishes prices online · No — enquiry only

Tue–Sat 11–6. Founded 2015 by Adenrele Sonariwo; sister spaces in Los Angeles and London. Nothing priced online — the address and hours here are the gallery's own, not a directory's. Its former Onikan address is stale

No work from Rele Gallery is priced on this site. That is a statement about what the gallery publishes online, not about what is on its walls — call the number above.

Getting a piece home from Nigeria

No export permit neededNigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments Act reaches antiquities: archaeological material, relics of early Nigerian civilisation, work made before 1918, and objects of traditional art used in religious or ceremonial life. A new canvas by a living artist is none of those and leaves as ordinary goods. Take a dated invoice naming the artist, the year, the medium and the dimensions. Exporters routinely ask the Commission for a written no-objection anyway — it costs little and settles the argument at the airport rather than at the gate.
