History

Zwirner opened his first gallery in 1993 on the ground floor of 43 Greene Street in SoHo in New York City,[2] with a one-man show of the Austrian sculptor Franz West.[3][4]

In 2002, he moved to 525 West 19th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York.[5] In 2012, he opened a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) London branch in Grafton Street, in Mayfair, and built a large new space—designed by Annabelle Selldorf—at 537 West 20th Street, Chelsea, New York.[6]

In September 2017, David Zwirner Gallery opened an Upper East Side space in a 1907 townhouse re-designed by Selldorf, right off of Madison Avenue.[7] The gallery's 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) space[8] at the H Queen's building in Hong Kong was also designed by Selldorf.[1][9]

In early 2018, David Zwirner Gallery announced the launch of its fifth location in New York—and its seventh space worldwide—for autumn 2020.[10] The five-story, $50 million Renzo Piano-designed gallery on the corner of West 21st Street is set to become Zwirner's new headquarters, with 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2) of exhibition space as well as improved offices and storage facilities.[11] It will be the first commercial gallery to be designed by the architect.[10] In 2019, David Zwirner Gallery opened an 8,600 sq ft (800 m2) outpost in the Marais district of Paris, its first in continental Europe.[12][13]

According to The New York Times in 2018, David Zwirner Gallery reports annual revenue of 500 million dollars.[11] Given the overall size of its operations, the company is often compared to Gagosian Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.[14]

Artists

The gallery has at various times exhibited works by Larry Bell,[15] Jeff Koons[16] and James Turrell.[15]
