Eli Klein Gallery
New YorkEli Klein Gallery is a leading New York–based gallery specializing in contemporary Asian and Asian diasporic art. Founded in 2007, the gallery has played a pivotal role in shaping the institutional landscape for these artists in the West, serving as a vital cultural bridge between Asia and the international art world.
Over nearly two decades, the gallery has facilitated loans and acquisitions for 100+ museum exhibitions worldwide, organized 100+ exhibitions, and published 50+ scholarly monographs and catalogues—reflecting a sustained commitment to curatorial rigor and long-term artist development.
Eli Klein Gallery holds a singular position in the American art world as the longest continuously operating gallery outside of Greater China dedicated to Chinese contemporary art. Building on this foundation, it has evolved to represent a rigorously curated global roster of leading Asian and diasporic voices, introducing numerous now internationally recognized artists through their first U.S. solo exhibitions.
Located in a landmarked Federal-style rowhouse in Manhattan’s West Village, the gallery presents a focused program of exhibitions and participates in select international art fairs. Recognized for its curatorial discipline, market fluency, and long-term institutional vision, it is frequently cited by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Artforum, and ARTnews for its perspective on the intersection of culture, geopolitics, and the global art market.
