What to know

Lehmann Maupin is a premier contemporary art gallery located at 501 West 24th Street in New York City. Co-founded in 1996 by Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin, the gallery has spent three decades establishing itself as a bridge between diverse geographies and artistic disciplines. By 2026, the institution celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking a legacy of openness and risk-taking in the art world. The gallery is distinguished by its commitment to internationalism, representing 43 artists from around the globe. It was among the first New York-based galleries to expand its footprint into Asia, opening a permanent location in Seoul in 2017 to complement its existing presence in New York and London. This global reach allows the gallery to introduce international artists to new audiences and build enduring curatorial relationships. Over the years, Lehmann Maupin has hosted more than 20 historic debut shows. Notable milestones include Do Ho Suh’s first solo New York exhibition in 2000 and the 2024 presentation of Catherine Opie’s Vatican City photograph series, titled Walls, Windows and Blood. These exhibitions highlight the gallery's role in bringing ambitious, world-class contemporary art to the heart of Manhattan.
