Eighteen Painters brings together a group of international artists, all born after 1980, who take diverse approaches to the medium of painting. Spanning the gallery's spaces at 22 Cortlandt Alley and 394 Broadway, the exhibition is not organised based upon thematic connections, but instead, as a way to look beyond paint's physical application, to demonstrate its continued vitality as a tool for research and exploration.
Artists included:
Shadi Al-Atallah, Michael Alvarez, Laís Amaral, Denilson Baniwa, Creighton Baxter, Cecilia De Nisco, Nash Glynn, Ruth Ige, Kahlil Robert Irving, Char Jeré, Libasse Ka, Lei Xie, Sophia Loeb, Asemahle Ntlonti, Preston Pavlis, Grace Rosario Perkins, Esteban Samayoa, and Yooyun Yang.
Andrew Kreps Gallery was founded in New York in 1996. Widening its original focus on emerging American artists, the program shortly thereafter expanded to include international artists, many of whom had their first exhibitions in the United States or New York at the gallery. After nearly 20 years of operation in Chelsea, the gallery announced it's relocation to Tribeca, at 22 Cortlandt Alley, which opened in September 2019. The gallery additionally programs 55 Walker Street, a space jointly operated with Bortolami and kaufmann repetto. The gallery represents the work of 30 internationally active artists. Recent additions to the gallery’s roster include He Xiangyu, Camille Blatrix, the estate of Corita Kent and the work of Bruno Munari.
