Altman Siegel

Altman Siegel is a contemporary art gallery based in San Francisco, founded in 2009 by Claudia Altman Siegel. The gallery is known for working with internationally active, museum level artists whose practices engage with pressing cultural questions at both a local and global scale. Its program places particular emphasis on artists connected to the Bay Area, while also introducing international voices to the San Francisco context.

The gallery’s exhibitions balance mid career and emerging artists with occasional historical presentations that provide critical context for contemporary practice. Committed to work that challenges conventions and expands artistic language, Altman Siegel regularly supports artists whose practices address social and cultural issues. Many artists first presented by the gallery have gone on to receive significant institutional and critical recognition, reflecting the gallery’s role in supporting new talent. Closely embedded in San Francisco’s cultural ecosystem, Altman Siegel maintains strong relationships with the regional collecting community and plays an active role in the city’s broader contemporary art landscape.
