ABOUT US
For more than three decades, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery has established itself as one of the leading programs in contemporary art, representing more than forty internationally recognized artists. Committed to presenting ambitious work across a wide range of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, and video, the gallery has built its reputation through artist-driven exhibitions, significant new commissions, and long-term support for innovative practices that challenge and expand the possibilities of contemporary art.
Founded in 1994, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery opened at 130 Prince Street in New York City's Soho neighborhood before relocating to 521 West 21st Street in Chelsea in 1998. Following a major expansion and renovation in 2006, the gallery doubled its footprint with the addition of 5,000 square feet of ground-floor exhibition space.Since its inception, the gallery has launched and fostered the careers of a key group of international artists, including Sandra Cinto, Olafur Eliasson, Ernesto Neto, Rivane Neuenschwander, Susan Philipsz, Analia Saban, Tomás Saraceno, and Thomas Scheibitz, presenting each artist's first solo exhibition in New York and, for many, their first exhibition in the United States. As these artists have gone on to represent their countries at international biennials, realize major public commissions, and mount landmark museum exhibitions, the gallery has remained an active collaborator in the development and presentation of their work.
The roster has grown over the decades with the addition of such established international artists as Mark Dion, Shilpa Gupta, Kimsooja, Mark Manders, Haim Steinbach, Sarah Sze, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, and Gillian Wearing. All the while, the gallery continues to introduce new and emerging artists to the program, including Rodrigo Hernandez, Jónsi, Yuko Mohri, Dana Powell, and Wong Ping.
