David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles
David Kordansky Gallery was established in 2003 as part of a burgeoning artistic community in Los Angeles's Chinatown neighborhood, where the gallery began as a cutting-edge incubator for emerging talent. It quickly grew into a widely respected voice in the international conversation surrounding new and recent art, and currently operates a multi-gallery campus in Mid-City Los Angeles and a Chelsea location in New York.
Representing over fifty artists and estates across a wide range of media and genres, the gallery is committed to presenting artists’ work with passion and intellectual rigor, while bringing the utmost care and precision to realizing the artists’ visions. Represented artists have been the subjects of solo exhibitions in acclaimed museums worldwide and regularly appear in landmark biennials and thematic group shows. They work in all media and styles, defined as a group by their heterogeneity and individuality rather than their allegiance to any single aesthetic position.

As the program has evolved, the gallery has broadened its scope, collaborating with artists at all stages of their careers so that various historical lineages can enter into dialogue with one another. What has not changed, however, is the desire to foster greater understanding of Los Angeles’ development as an important city for art since World War II. David Kordansky Gallery sees itself as an institution firmly rooted in its hometown and in California, even as it embraces cultural activity in the 21st century as a fully global phenomenon. As such, it also treats its participation in the major international art fairs as serious exhibition opportunities, often planning solo presentations and other special programming.
The gallery has long valued the role that publications play in the diffusion of ideas and as snapshots of moments in time. To this end, the gallery is commited to publishing an ever-growing range of exhibition catalogues and limited edition artist’s books.
