Richard Taittinger Gallery
Richard Taittinger Gallery opened in March 2015 at 154 Ludlow Street. Located in the Lower East Side, the gallery presents works by contemporary artists with significant global recognition. Richard F. Taittinger founded the gallery after starting his own art advisory in 2010.[1] The 5,000 square foot gallery features 20-foot ceilings and a large skylight designed by Markus Dochantschi of StudioMDA.[2]
History
In March 2015, Richard Taittinger Gallery’s inaugural group exhibition titled Sinthome featuring artworks by Ding Yi, Théo Mercier, Alexander Ponomarev, Recycle Group, and Wang Du.[3][4]
In Summer of 2015, the gallery announced the exclusive representation of the Estate of Nassos Daphnis.[5] Daphnis was represented by the Leo Castelli for nearly 40 years and is best-known for his embrace of geometric abstraction and development of a Color-Plane Theory. The gallery’s solo exhibition of his work, Pixel Fields, reintroduced Daphnis’ work to a new generation and explored its tantalizing relationship to the work of today’s New media art. [6]
