ABOUT
THEFOURTH, established in Cape Town in
September 2020, is a contemporary art gallery and design showroom that has
served as a dynamic platform at the heart of Cape Town's creative community,
fostering connections and collaborations among various creative professionals.
Initially, its hybrid space featured a gallery, concept store, and private bar,
blending the commercial with the informative.
The concept of THEFOURTH Gallery and Apartment Vol., founded at the beginning of 2020, is deeply intertwined, though each serves distinct purposes. Apartment Vol. was conceived as an intimate, animated domestic environment where art and design could be better understood outside traditional gallery settings. This approach, rooted in non-attachment and constant evolution, laid the foundation for THEFOURTH's brand and vision.
Building on this foundation, THEFOURTH gallery embodies a domestic sensibility while functioning as a versatile space for collaborations, exhibitions, and at times, residencies. Over the years, it has remained committed to re-engineering time and space for artistic expression, with a focus on non-traditional approaches to exhibiting, curating, and collecting art and design.
As THEFOURTH continues its journey, it has expanded beyond its original bricks-and-mortar presence in Cape Town to reach an international audience. With a strong online presence, including regular exhibitions on Artsy.com, and activations in The Netherlands and Sweden, THEFOURTH bridges design from all eras and contemporary art from both local and international creators.
This spirit of evolution has also given rise to THEFOURTH LIVING AUCTIONS, an ongoing exploration of the objects, creations, and material culture that define what it means to live. From design and art to vinyl records, fashion, and everyday objects, the auctions celebrate the elements that shape our lived experience. With each showcase, THEFOURTH invites participants to rediscover life through the lens of the curated and the collected.
In addition to its gallery and auction ventures, THEFOURTH offers bespoke interior design services, crafting environments that reflect its unique aesthetic and philosophy. THEFOURTH also creates custom designs fabricated in-house for each project, giving every space its unique stamp. By integrating art, design, and function, these interiors embody the brand’s vision of creating inspiring and harmonious living spaces that bridge creativity and practicality.
THEFOURTH remains committed to innovation, experimentation, and fostering meaningful connections through its evolving projects, ensuring that its mission to redefine art, design, and interiors continues to grow, unrestricted by traditional boundaries.
