History

Lehmann Maupin gallery has organized and curated exhibitions for international contemporary artists working in all media. The gallery has given a number of artists their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, including Kutluğ Ataman, Tracey Emin, Anya Gallaccio, Shirazeh Houshiary, Do-Ho Suh, and Adriana Varejão. In addition, the gallery has exposed emerging talents, such as Suling Wang, Teresita Fernández, and the Japanese artist Mr., through exhibitions at the gallery and participations in select art fairs.

The gallery's first raw, plywood-panelled space in Chelsea was designed by Rem Koolhaas in 1996.[4] It was a 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) storefront gallery located at 39 Greene Street (near Grand Street).[5] In September 2002 the gallery moved to a bigger space, also located in Chelsea. A second New York gallery at 201 Chrystie Street opened in November 2007.[6] In 2013, Koolhaas designed a 105-square-metre (1,130 sq ft) gallery space in the historic Pedder Building in Hong Kong. The inaugural exhibition featured Korean artist Lee Bul.[5]

Lehmann Maupin’s current three-story gallery space, designed by Peter Marino, opened in Chelsea in September 2018. Shortly after, the gallery inaugurated its nearly 2,000 square feet (190 square metres) black box space for film screenings.[7]

In 2019, Lehmann Maupin opened a space in London.[8]

gollark: I have no idea how to continue this conversation.
gollark: Well, this is dull.
gollark: I somehow can't even decide how exactly file upload should work.
gollark: None of the problems in this are algorithmically challenging, the most complex bit of this is just the weird logic for generating context around a link, but I have trouble making decisions and adding features involves lots of that.
gollark: Maybe I should use this "emeraldchat" to procrastinate on additional minoteaur features.
