Alfonso Artiaco opens his gallery in Pozzuoli, in Corso Nicola Terracciano, in 1986 at the age of twenty-two. The first exhibition, Possibilità di collezione, featured works by Alighiero Boetti, Joseph Beuys, Luciano Fabro, Luigi Ontani, Giulio Paolini, Mario Schifano and Andy Warhol, among others.

In the following years the gallery developed a program focused mainly on Arte Povera, Conceptual and Minimal Art showing solo exhibitions by artists such as Giovanni Anselmo, Richard Artschwager, Alan Charlton, Wolfgang Laib, Giuseppe Penone, Niele Toroni and Lawrence Weiner.

In 1995 the gallery moved temporarily to Via Mameli, opening with the exhibition of Carl Andre and Sol LeWitt. In 1997 the gallery returned to its original location with the first solo show of Jannis Kounellis. In 2003 Alfonso Artiaco decided to move to Naples, first to Piazza dei Martiri, where he remained until 2012, and then in November of that year he opened the exhibition of Liam Gillick and Sol LeWitt in Piazzetta Nilo, at the noble floor of Palazzo Principe Raimondo De Sangro.

In 2016 Alfonso Artiaco celebrated 30 years of activity with a large exhibition at the gallery featuring 40 artists who have presented works selected or created for the occasion.

In addition to supporting its historical artists, the gallery constantly enriches its program with new collaborations.
