Gladstone Gallery
Gladstone Gallery specializes in modern and contemporary art. Among the artists represented are Matthew Barney, Jim Hodges, Alex Katz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elizabeth Peyton and Shirin Neshat.

Shirin Neshat
Shirin Neshat is an Iranian visual artist living in New York City. She is known for her work in film, video and photography. Her work centers on contrasts between Islam and the West, femininity and masculinity, public and private life, antiquity and modernity, and bridging the spaces between these spaces. She has been recognized often for her work, winning the International Award at the Venice Biennale in 1999, the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the Venice Biennale in 2009, the Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum in Davis in 2014, and the USA Rockefeller Award in 2017. 

Jack Shainman Gallery
Jack Shainman Gallery is known for introducing international artists to American audiences, for promoting and developing young and mid-career artists, and for its multi-cultural roster of emerging and established artists who engage in social and cultural issues.

Leslie Wayne
Leslie Wayne was born in Germany, grew up in California and currently resides in New York City. She is known for manipulating the medium of painting by approaching oil paint as a sculptural material, often scraping, folding, cutting, and building up the surfaces. Her work, hybrids of paintings and sculptures, takes on a three-dimensional form with layers, varying textures and colors. Her work can be found in many public collections in the United States and abroad.

Lehman Maupin Gallery 
Lehman Maupin Gallery has identified and developed the careers of an international roster of visionary artists including Liza Lou, Teresita Fernandez, Gilbert and George, David Salle, Kara Walker, and MacArthur Binnion.

Liza Lou
Liza Lou lives and works in Los Angeles and Durban, South Africa. She first gained attention when her room-size sculpture, Kitchen, was shown at the New Museum. The project blurred the boundary between fine art and craft. Working within a craft metier has led her to work in a variety of socially engaged settings including a collective she founded in South Africa, a women’s prison in Belem Brazi, an embroidery collective in Mumbai,  India. Lou recently began Apartogether, a community art project founded at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic to foster connection and creativity at a time of social distancing and isolation. She is the recipient of a 2013 Anonymous Was a Woman Award and a 2002 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship.
