Tina Kim Gallery is internationally recognized for its critically rigorous program that foregrounds Asian and Asian diasporic artists across generations and mediums. Founded in 2001 and located in Chelsea, the gallery works closely with artists, estates, and institutional partners to produce exhibitions, publications, and public programs of scholarly depth and critical resonance.
Spanning leading postwar figures to contemporary visionaries, the gallery’s program has been instrumental in advancing artists whose work engages transcultural perspectives. It has championed diasporic figures such as Pacita Abad, Kim Tschang-Yeul, and Kim Lim, alongside seminal Korean artists including Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee ShinJa, and Suki Seokyeong Kang. The gallery’s growing roster of international contemporary artists includes Mire Lee, Maia Ruth Lee, and Tania Pérez Córdova, among others. Over the course of the last 25 years, the gallery has played a formative role in elevating Korean Dansaekhwa on the global stage, building institutional and public awareness of the post-war movement’s significance and influence.
Across generations and geographies, the gallery’s program engages questions of migration, diasporic identity, history, and material culture—reflecting a sustained commitment to expanding the canons of art history, pushing the conversation beyond national frameworks, and bringing underrecognized practices to international audiences.
