David Zwirner Gallery is an American contemporary art gallery owned by David Zwirner. It has four gallery spaces in New York City and one each in Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, and Paris.[1]

History

[edit]

The Zwirner Gallery opened in 1993 on the ground floor of 43 Greene Street in SoHo in New York City[2] with a one-man show of the Austrian sculptor Franz West.[3][4]

In 2002 it moved to 525 West 19th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York.[5] In 2012 it opened a 930 m2 (10,000 sq ft) London branch in Grafton Street, in Mayfair, and built a large new space, designed by Annabelle Selldorf, at 537 West 20th Street, Chelsea, New York.[6]

In September 2017 it opened an Upper East Side space in a 1907 townhouse off Madison Avenue, redesigned by Selldorf.[7] A 930 m2 (10,000 sq ft) space[8] at the H Queen's building in Hong Kong was also designed by Selldorf.[1][9]

In 2019 the gallery opened an 800 m2 (8,600 sq ft) outpost in the Marais district of Paris, its first in continental Europe.[10][11]

In 2023 it opened a 1,300 m2 (15,000 sq ft) branch in the Melrose Hill neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[12][13]

According to The New York Times in 2018, the gallery reports annual revenue of $500 million dollars.[14] Given the overall size of its operations, it is often compared to Gagosian Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.[15]
