There are very few galleries successfully dedicated to exclusively presenting photography.
Yancey Richardson is a leading exhibitor, representing the best photographers and works that the art community has to offer.
The gallery is centrally located on the ground floor in Chelsea.
Natural light and unimpeded wall space provide ideal viewing of photographs ranging from small photobooth prints to monumental museum-sized pieces.
Respect for the medium is immediately apparent.
The stable of represented artists is lengthy but includes Mickalene Thomas and Julius Shulman.
Recent gallery-based exhibitions and presentations at Untitled and the Armory include recognizable mainstay artists like Larry Sultan, Sharon Core and Ori Gersht; Rachel Perry and
Hellen van Meene, too many talents to list.
Jared Bark has been shown in the gallery after many years of exposure limited to only collectors in the know, prompting a re-examination by curators and art historians.
Focused exhibiting of artists newer to the scene, but no less important, like Zanele Muholi, document socially important concepts of race, gender and sexuality in her native South Africa.
History and aesthetics perfectly merge through the gallery's own lens.
The Gallery should be a must-see at any tour of Chelsea.
Likewise, it's a gallery to seek out during the important art fair weeks in Miami and NYC.
On a personal observation, the entire staff is professional and polite.
The namesake, Yancey Richardson, loves what she does and her genuine passion is immediately apparent.
She is easily engaged in a conversation about the artists, art works, the process and the medium.
Similarly, Director, Sarah, is equally happy to provide information and quick to provide insight and information.
I've enjoyed seeing the gallery exhibitions and art fair presentations; and, personal acquisitions have been easy and exciting experiences. read more
