Galerie Lelong represents contemporary artists from the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Au

Galerie Lelong represents prominent contemporary artists and estates from the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. This uniquely diverse group includes mid-career and established artists at the forefront of the international art world working across all media. The gallery presents art that challenges viewers on multiple levels and diversifies dominant understandings of modern

and contemporary art. While contemporary Latin American art has only recently begun to receive due recognition in the field, the gallery has been a key proponent of the region for decades, representing some of its most vital figures and presenting museum-quality exhibitions of their work. The gallery is proud to have represented Cildo Meireles, the Estate of Ana Mendieta, and Alfredo Jaar for over twenty years as well as the Estate of Hélio Oiticica for over a decade. Galerie Lelong has also actively engaged in the cross-generational representation of women artists at a time when women continue to be underrepresented in the art world. Etel Adnan, Zilia Sánchez, and Carolee Schneemann have been exhibiting as early as the fifties or sixties, yet their impressive bodies of work and keen visual languages have just begun to be acknowledged. The gallery also supports several artists known for their socially engaged practices, such as Alfredo Jaar, Yoko Ono, Nancy Spero, and Krzysztof Wodiczko. Contemporary sculpture is another strength of the gallery with artists such as Petah Coyne, Andy Goldsworthy, Jaume Plensa, and Ursula von Rydingsvard continually expanding the boundaries of three-dimensional expression. The gallery has a long history of working closely with prestigious museums and public institutions around the world to support the creation of new work, permanent public art projects, exhibitions both monographic and thematic, and publications on its artists. Founded in Paris in 1981 by Daniel Lelong, Jacques Dupin, and Jean Frémon, the gallery in New York opened in 1985. Directed by Mary Sabbatino, Vice President and Partner, the gallery moved to its present ground-floor location in Chelsea in 2001. Galerie Lelong is a member of the Art Dealers’ Association of America, the most esteemed organization of art galleries in the United States.

We are proud to share that Alfredo Jaar has been invited to the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, “In Minor Keys” curated by Koyo Kouoh. The exhibition will take place from May 9 through November 22, 2026.

This is Alfredo Jaar’s fifth invitation to the International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia; his work has been included in the 1986, 2007, 2009, and 2013 editions.

For over 40 years, Jaar has used photographs, film, installation, and new media to create compelling works that examine complex socio-political issues and the limits and ethics of representation. By using a hybrid form of art-making, Jaar has consistently provoked, questioned, and searched for ways to heighten our consciousness about issues often forgotten or suppressed in the international sphere, while not relinquishing art’s formal and aesthetic power.

His work has also appeared in the Biennials of São Paulo, Brazil (1987, 1989, 2010; 2021); Documenta, Germany (1987, 2002); and the Whitney Biennial (2022). In 2026, he will be inducted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters for his achievement in Art.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

We are celebrating the sharing of love with this untitled painting by the late artist Ficre Ghebreyesus, whose distinct artistic language suggests the non-linear form of dreams, memories, and storytelling. Ghebreyesus will be the subject of a solo exhibition at the gallery opening this April.

As part of our presentation at Miami Beach, we are proud to participate in the Kabinett sector with a a selection of works on paper created in the 1960s by the late artist and poet Etel Adnan.⁠

This decade would prove foundational for Adnan, during which she developed her visual language in parallel with her philosophical and literary work. ⁠
⁠
Meditative, lyrical, and structurally rigorous, these ink, watercolor, and gouache works on paper offer a rare and intimate view into the early evolution of one of the most poetic and singular voices in postwar abstraction.⁠
⁠
Visit us at Booth E14 to see the works.⁠

One of the most influential artists of the postwar era, Cuban-born created groundbreaking work across sculpture, photography and film.

In her brief working career (1972–1985) Mendieta made over 100 films, in which her distinctive merging of sculpture and performative action was evident. Establishing a unique earth/body aesthetic, the artist integrated her body with dirt, sand, water, blood, fire and feathers in ritual-like displays.

This Saturday 21 September, will be holding the event ‘Projections #16: Blood, fire, feathers’ – the Australian premiere of restored films by Ana Mendieta with an introduction by Sydney artist Claudia Nicholson.

See you in the gallery from 6 to 8pm tonight for Gallery Night!

The gallery will remain open late for a special opportunity to view our exhibition “Tariku Shiferaw: Marking Oneself in Dark Places.”

The exhibition presents new works from two of the artist’s ongoing series, “One of These Black Boys” and “Mata Semay,” in which Shiferaw engages his practice of cultural space-making through a confrontation of exclusionary Eurocentric systems of epistemic erasure. Shiferaw’s latest series, “Mata Semay,” Amharic for “night skies,” proposes a new mythology that imagines how the night sky would exist if diasporic cultural contributions were considered in the global consciousness.

Currently on view at the , for more than fifty years, ’s visceral and haunting work was powered by her unwavering commitment to justice and her insistence upon art’s inseparability from the world’s larger social and political realities. Spero began her "Torture of Women" series in the late 1970s, juxtaposing journalistic excerpts from sources including the New York Times and Amnesty International’s Reports on Torture with printed and hand-wrought imagery on paper. ⁠
⁠
The texts—which one can read only in fragments—describe horrific examples of institutional violence perpetrated against women, here overlaid with a wrenching image of a female figure straining to crawl upon (or rise from?) the earth with an open-mouthed cry. ⁠
⁠
While its archival quality historicizes the specific stories, it serves too as an unflinching reminder of the sustained violence that continues to disproportionally target female and female-identifying people throughout the world. In a text written for the artist’s first exhibition of the series, historian said that in these works, “Spero is secretary to the apocalypse.”⁠

🏛️Opening today: 's new solo exhibition "Invisível e Indizível", curated by , at , Curitiba, Brazil through April 9, 2023.⁠
⁠
For this exhibition, an encompassing silence envelops the viewer through the monumentality of two large works with distinct constructions in dialogue: "Silent Hortense" (which stands over seven meters high) and "Invisible Rui Rui." “The symmetrical confrontation between the two sculptures in the space is an unprecedented composition in his exhibitions,” comments Dantas.⁠
⁠
The exhibition commemorates the 20th anniversary of Museu Oscar Niemeyer, a distinctive architectural landmark in Brazil.⁠
