Since its establishment nearly two decades ago, Lehmann Maupin has identified and cultivated the careers of an international roster of visionary and historically significant artists. The gallery has garnered a reputation for supporting artists working across disciplines and with new and challenging forms of creative expression; artists whose work have had a lasting impact on contemporary art and culture. Working closely with curators and leading intellectuals in the field, Lehmann Maupin is committed to presenting its artists on an international level and to firmly establishing their contributions to art history in the 21st century and beyond. Lehmann Maupin has given some of contemporary art’s most respected artists their first one-person exhibitions in New York, including Tracey Emin, Anya Gallaccio, Shirazeh Houshiary, Liu Wei, Klara Kristalova, Do Ho Suh, Juergen Teller, and Adriana Varejão. In addition, the gallery has highlighted emerging talents, such as Mickalene Thomas, Hernan Bas, Angel Otero and the Japanese artist Mr., by organising important solo exhibitions around the world and presenting their work at prominent international art fairs. Lehmann Maupin’s programme also includes Kader Attia, Ashley Bickerton, Billy Childish, Mary Corse, Robeto Cuoghi, Teresita Fernández, Gilbert & George, Sonia Gomes, Nicholas Hlobo, Lee Bul, OSGEMEOS, Tony Oursler, Alex Prager, Robin Rhode, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Jennifer Steinkamp, Patrick Van Caeckenbergh, Nari Ward, and Erwin Wurm. Founded by partners Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin, Lehmann Maupin first opened in New York’s SoHo in October 1996, and in September 2002 moved to Chelsea. A second New York gallery space opened in late 2007 in Manhattan’s new cultural hub, the Lower East Side. The gallery established its first international exhibition space in Hong Kong in March 2013, and relocated to a new Chelsea space in 2015. Over the years, Lehmann Maupin has worked closely with world-renowned architect Rem Koolhaas and OMA on the redesign of the SoHo, Chelsea, and Hong Kong galleries.
