I stumbled upon this place by accident and I couldn’t have been happier that happened. We were greeted by Mauricio. He was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. This gallery has some incredible work! I loved the pieces that have of Botero! I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the market for some fine art.

It's a nice Gallery with a great selection. The staff gave us a good introduction about each Artist and they were really friendly. Just this time I couldn't find anything for my collection, hope later 🤗

Amazing art, from sculptures to abstract acrylic paintings! I learned so much—Sebastian Rodriguez, the art advisor, was super knowledgeable, explained everything amazingly and was also genuinely passionate and helpful. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had the most amazing experience at Art of the World, in large part by one of the art advisors there, Mauricio Sampogna. This review is completely unsolicited - I rarely right reviews but I felt absolutely compelled. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon prior to going out to dinner. We were so lucky to be one of the only clients there at the time. It felt we had the entire gallery to ourselves. Mauricio warmly greeted us and we felt extremely comfortable from the outset. We are art newbies. We have been fortunate enough to have gone to art museums all over the world but we are not well versed in the arts to know what makes a piece unique. Mauricio carefully guided us throughout both floors of the gallery in such a thoughtful and non-judgmental way (in the sense that we do not know much about art). He actually cared to listen to what we liked and didn't like from various pieces and went out of his way to make us feel at home and educated on the various artists. What I enjoyed the most was the void of salesmanship here - there was never pressure to purchase a piece. I liked this. It made for a more free environment and it allowed me to feel like I was even more ready to purchase a piece for our home. MAURICIO IS PASSIONATE AND KNOWLEDGABLE AND IT SHOWS. When someone loves their job you can tell. He is a bank of information and presents that information in an easily digestible and approachable manner. There were various pieces, most notably for me "The Return" on the second level, that really moved me. Mauricio noticed it and gave us a book from the artist that had that painting. We decided given the amazing collection from the gallery and Mauricio's presentation of the various works, that we will be purchasing a piece from Art of the World Gallery in the future. It's a special place and I recommend Mauricio to be your first impression of the gallery.

My adult daughter and I both love art and visited the gallery while in Houston for the day. We were greeted at the door by Mauricio who explained the layout and artists represented at the gallery. It was my daughter's birthday which happened to be the same day as Mauricio's so they began talking a bit. Mauricio is very personable and took an interest in learning more about my daughter's artwork and directed her to some pieces of similar media. We spent a few hours in the gallery and conversed with the staff about the different art on display and learned a lot about the artists from them. This was the best art gallery I have been to yet. The building and display of the artwork is beautiful with a peaceful inviting atmosphere. We were informed about the next exhibit and are planning to come back for it. This is a first class gallery in every way. Thank you again for a great experience.
