Casey Kaplan gallery

The Casey Kaplan gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in the heart of Chelsea in New York City.

History

Founded by Casey Kaplan (b. 1970, New York City) in March 1995, the gallery began as a 500sq. foot, one-room space located on an upper floor of a cast iron loft building on Broadway in SoHo. It now operates in a 5,000 square feet (460 square metres) street level gallery containing three separate exhibition spaces on West 21st street in Chelsea.[1] In 2013, the gallery announced its plans to move out of the neighborhood by the time its lease runs out in 2015;[2] however, it relocated to a 10,000 square feet (930 square metres) space at 121 West 27th Street, a 12-story high-rise building in Manhattan’s Flower District east of Seventh Avenue, instead.[3]

The gallery represents living artists from the United States, Canada and Europe. Jeff Burton, Trisha Donnelly, Liam Gillick and Jonathan Monk have been exhibiting with the gallery for over ten years. Within the last two years the gallery initiated new relationships with Matthew Brannon, Geoffrey Farmer, Giorgio Griffa, and David Thorpe. Many of the represented artists had their first solo gallery exhibitions at Casey Kaplan, and have become part of an international dialogue – participating in International Biennales,[4] achieving mid-career retrospectives at museums,[5] and winning a Turner Prize.[6]

Group exhibitions

Since 1997, guest curators such as Laurie Simmons, Liam Gillick, Daniel Birnbaum, Douglas Gordon, Jens Hoffmann, Daniel Baumann (2x), and Matthew Brannon have conceptualized and organized group exhibitions within the gallery. The June 2011 exhibition entitled, Everything Must Go, is a special project with Ceramica Suro[7] in Guadalajara, Mexico organized by José Noé Suro where 78 different contemporary artists have been invited to produce limited edition multiples with the 60-year-old ceramic factory.

Art Fairs

The gallery has annually exhibited at Art Basel, Switzerland since Art 30 in 1999,[8] participating in: Art Galleries, Art Statements, Art Unlimited, and Art Public Projects. Additionally, the gallery has been included in Art Basel Miami Beach since its inception.[9] In 2013, Casey Kaplan will also participate in the Frieze Art Fair in London[10] and Frieze Art Fair in New York.
