This space introduced American and European contemporary art to a Chinese audience, and also introduced a selection of Chinese artists to the gallery’s programs in New York and Shanghai.\n\nJames Cohan Gallery opened a second New York location in November 2015. Its inaugural exhibition in the Lower East Side was an exhibition of early Robert Smithson drawings. This additional location allows the gallery to expand its ambitious programming with focused and experimental exhibitions of gallery artists.\n\nOver the past four years, the gallery has welcomed new artists Firelei Báez, Kathy Butterly, Omer Fast, Federico Herrero, Mernet Larsen, Josiah McElheny, the Estate of Lee Mullican, The Propeller Group, Matthew Ritchie, Elias Sime, and Grace Weaver to its program, reinforcing its commitment to championing artists whose work, for all its rich disparity, is fundamentally grounded in rigorous engagement with physical and ideological place. Each artist in the gallery program seeks to re-imagine contemporary human experience by engaging critically with historical precedent, while negotiating identity through materiality and process.\n\nJames Cohan is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Josiah McElheny at 48 Walker Street in September 2019. This is the artist’s debut solo exhibition with James Cohan and inaugurates the gallery’s new Tribeca flagship location. In November, James Cohan will celebrate its 20th Anniversary with an exhibition of new and important work by gallery artists across both locations
