Sean Kelly Gallery, founded by British born Sean Kelly in 1991 moved to its current 7,000 sq ft location on 29th Street in Chelsea in 2001. It established its reputation for diverse, intellectually driven, unconventional exhibitions by artists as Marina Abramovic, Joseph Kosuth, Ann Hamilton, Christine Borland and James Casabere.
The move to the new, spacious Chelsea location enabled the Gallery to mount increasingly ambitious, museum-quality exhibitions with acclaimed artists as Laurie Anderson, Antony Gormley, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov and Gavin Turk. In addition, over the last few years, the Gallery has initiated relationships with Los Carpinteros, Johan Grimonprez, Wolfgang Laib and Anthony McCall.
Since its inception, the Gallery has garnered extensive attention for its work with many of the most significant cultural institutions in the world. The Gallery has coordinated hundreds of exhibitions on behalf of its artists at a plethora of museums including the Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art, Turin, Italy; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, Ireland; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel; Kunstwerke Berlin, Germany; the Musée d'Art Contemporain de Montréal, Canada; the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sapporo, Japan; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Tate Gallery, London, England; the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia; the Stedelijk van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Holland; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, to name but a few.
The Gallery's artists have consistently been included in major international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Biennial, the Yokohama International Triennial, the Carnegie International, Documenta, Germany and international biennials in Istanbul, Moscow, São Paulo, and Sydney. Several of the gallery's artists have represented their countries at the prestigious Venice Biennale including Ann Hamilton (American Pavilion, 1999), Joseph Kosuth (Hungarian Pavilion, 1993), Julião Sarmento (Portuguese Pavilion, 1997), and Marina Abramovic, who won the prestigious Golden Lyon Award for Sculpture in 1997.
The Gallery also participates in four major international art fairs each year; Art Basel, Switzerland, Art Basel: Miami, The Armory Show, New York and FIAC in Paris.
As the Gallery continues to grow, its commitment to excellence and quality remains unchanged.
