Sean Kelly is a New York based contemporary art gallery founded in 1991 that has gained international recognition for its intellectually rigorous program and museum quality exhibition practice. From its first public space on Mercer Street, the gallery established a reputation for presenting challenging and unconventional exhibitions, working closely with artists whose practices engage conceptual, photographic, performative, and interdisciplinary approaches. Collaboration with leading cultural institutions has been central to the gallery’s development from its earliest years.

The gallery’s successive expansions, first to Chelsea in 2001 and later in 2012 to its current 22,000 square foot space on Tenth Avenue, have enabled an increasingly ambitious exhibition program and the growth of a diverse, multigenerational roster. Sean Kelly represents both historically significant figures and a new generation of international artists, supporting their work through major exhibitions, institutional partnerships, and long term career development. Today, the gallery occupies a prominent position within the global contemporary art landscape, known for combining scholarly depth with expansive curatorial vision.
