The gallery works with an international group of leading contemporary artists and estates, including Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Ron Gorchov, Bill Jensen, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Sean Scully, and others. Their diverse artistic practices include painting, sculpture, photography, and video.
They have exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, and are included in exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Biennial, Carnegie International, and Documenta.\n\nCheim \u0026amp; Read is known for museum-quality survey exhibitions, including Joan Mitchell (2018), Louise Bourgeois (2018), Lynda Benglis (2016), and Al Held (2016). It is also acclaimed for curatorial exhibitions, including The Female Gaze, Part Two: Women Look at Men (2016), a show of women’s depictions of men, The Horizontal (2017), exploring of the horizon in abstract art from 1937 to present, and Reinventing Abstraction: New York Painting in the 1980s (2013), curated by Raphael Rubinstein.\n\nOur new gallery will open on September 26 at 23 East 67th Street and will be open to the public Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm. The gallery will continue to work directly with a number of artists, many of whom we have had a relationship with for over two decades. Our exhibition program will be inaugurated with Ron Gorchov's paintings from 1979–1983. This fall, we will publish Cheim \u0026amp; Read: 21 Years, a pictorial history of the gallery. We will also have a private showroom in Chelsea located at 508 West 26th Street.\n\nCheim \u0026amp; Read's new program will mount exhibitions with a historical focus and examine key periods in artists’ oeuvres. Catalogues and other publications will add to our commitment to original scholarship. We will continue to work with artists on the primary market, while concentrating on private sales in the secondary market. This work is informed by our depth of knowledge developed by decades of connoisseurship and our extensive archive
