A Tribeca gallery with a strong instinct for artists before they become obvious. Andrew Kreps Gallery is one of New York’s contemporary art stops where downtown energy, experimentation and market intelligence meet.

Andrew Kreps Gallery was founded in New York in 1996 and became part of the city’s contemporary gallery scene through a programme focused on international artists, many of whom had early New York or US presentations with the gallery. After more than two decades in Chelsea, it relocated in 2019 to 22 Cortlandt Alley in Tribeca, a two-level space of around 10,000 square feet.

Today, the gallery is part of Tribeca’s growing contemporary art ecosystem, with spaces listed at 22 Cortlandt Alley, 394 Broadway, and 55 Walker Street.

What you’ll see here

At Andrew Kreps Gallery, expect temporary exhibitions rather than a permanent collection. The programme can move between painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, conceptual practices and historically important rediscoveries.

You may encounter:

  • International contemporary artists
  • Emerging and established voices
  • Painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation
  • Focused solo exhibitions and group shows
  • A polished but still downtown Tribeca gallery atmosphere
  • Exhibitions across multiple nearby spaces

Worth the trip

Yes — especially if you want New York beyond Chelsea and Museum Mile.

What makes Andrew Kreps Gallery special is its mix of serious contemporary programming and downtown flexibility. It is not a mega-gallery spectacle, but it has real influence: the kind of place where artists, collectors, curators and future museum conversations often meet before the wider public catches up.

ArtLovers Tip

Visit it as part of a Tribeca gallery walk. Pair Andrew Kreps with Bortolami, kaufmann repetto, Marian Goodman, Alexander Gray, James Cohan or other nearby spaces. Tribeca is one of the best areas in New York to feel the gallery scene shifting in real time. For Artlovers, it is worth including because Tribeca shows contemporary art at a more human scale: less monumental than Chelsea, less polished than Madison Avenue, but full of discovery, movement and cultural momentum.
