Founded by Paul Kasmin in SoHo in 1989, Kasmin cultivates a rigorous exhibition program that places historic figures of Post-War art in dialogue with the evolving practice of established and emerging artists working today. For nearly 30 years, the gallery has nurtured the careers of eminent modern and contemporary artists including Tina Barney, Walton Ford, James Nares, Ivan Navarro, Roxy Paine, Elliott Puckette, Mark Ryden, Bosco Sodi, and Bernar Venet, among many others, and put on the first-ever U.S. gallery shows of artists including Les Lalanne. Kasmin was among the first galleries to move to Chelsea in 2000 and continues to expand its program to include more artists and estates, now encompassing four gallery spaces anchored in the heart of the Chelsea Arts District at 10th Avenue and 27th Street. In addition to supporting contemporary artists, Kasmin leads the field in advocating for the legacy of artist estates, currently representing some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, including Constantin Brancusi, William N. Copley, Stuart Davis, Max Ernst, Barry Flanagan, Jane Freilicher, Simon Hantaï, Robert Indiana, Lee Krasner, and Robert Motherwell. The gallery also specializes in the presentation of large-scale sculpture and engages in public art projects across New York and around the world, with recent examples including: Bosco Sodi’s "Muro"​ in Washington Square Park, New York (2017), Les Lalanne’s "Sheep Station"​ in Chelsea, New York (2013), and Mark Ryden’s "Dodecahedron"​ at PMQ Gardens in Hong Kong (2018). In November 2018, the gallery will present Robert Indiana’s "ART, Blue/Red"​ as part of FIAC’s public installation Hors Les Murs at Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Complementing they gallery’s robust exhibitions program, Kasmin is also dedicated to furthering academic research on its artists and develops scholarly publications that shed new light on their diverse practices. The gallery has published comprehensive catalogues including William N. Copley "X-Rated"​, Simon Hantaï’s "Blancs"​, Lee Krasner’s "Umber Paintings"​, "Alexander the Great: The Iolas Gallery 1955-1987"​, "Impasse Ronsin"​, and the first English translation of a monograph-scale book of Max Ernst’s sculpture. Most recently, "Brancusi & Duchamp: The Art of Dialogue"​, looking at the creative and personal relationship between the two artists, opened on September 20, 2018. Dedicated to cultivating collectors and working with artists from around the world, Kasmin participates in range of international art fairs across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Marking a new chapter of curatorial ambition for the gallery, Kasmin expanded the gallery’s footprint in Chelsea with the opening of its fourth space in October 2018. The new, purpose-built gallery designed by studioMDA features a rooftop sculpture garden overlooking The High Line, representing a first-of-its-kind model for publicly-sited commercial sculpture. Rejecting the dichotomy that pits brick-and-mortar against new methods of programming, the gallery’s new rooftop sculpture garden places Kasmin’s roster of artists and exhibitions in conversation with one of the most innovative platforms for art developed in recent years, reimagining how a commercial gallery can engage with art and the public.
