LEHMANN MAUPIN
540 WEST 26TH STREET
NY 10001
Since opening in October 1996, Lehmann Maupin has organized and curated exhibitions for an array of international contemporary artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, video and new media from all over the world. These exhibitions examine the work of both emerging and well-established artists whose work impacts contemporary art and culture. The gallery has given important artists their first one-person exhibitions in New York including Kutlug Ataman, Tracey Emin, Anya Gallaccio, Shirazeh Houshiary, Do Ho Suh, and Adriana Varejão. In addition, the gallery has exposed emerging talents, such as Suling Wang and the Japanese artist Mr., through exhibitions at the gallery and participations in select art fairs. Our program includes important established artists such as Ashley Bickerton, Gilbert & George, and Tony Oursler. Founded by partners Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin, Lehmann Maupin first opened in SoHo, and moved, in September 2002, to its present location in Chelsea. A second New York gallery space opened in late 2007 at 201 Chrystie Street in Manhattan's new cultural hub, the Bowery area.

In anticipation of the new season, we wanted to highlight some of the important upcoming exhibitions and announcements for the gallery.
We are pleased to announce that Nari Ward has joined the gallery. His first exhibition will take place in February 2010. Erwin Wurm has also joined the gallery and his first exhibition with Lehmann Maupin will be in late 2010.
Our first exhibition of the season, a new series of photographs by Juergen Teller entitled Paradis, will open on 10th September in our Chelsea space (540 West 26th Street). In these large-scale nude studies, Teller revisits two of his previous subjects, Charlotte Rampling and Raquel Zimmermann, who are photographed together one evening inside the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
On 22nd October, a new body of work by Teresita Fernández will open at the gallery's Chelsea space (540 West 26th Street). Composed entirely of graphite, the exhibition includes sculptures, wall drawings, and three-dimensional paintings and will be on view through December. Fernández has several other projects in the next few months, including a permanent commission for the new state-of-the-art Dallas Cowboys Stadium, the unveiling of her permanent commission Blind Blue Landscape at the Benesse Art Site in Naoshima, Japan on 5th September and a traveling exhibition entitled Teresita Fernández: Blind Landscape that will open at the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum on 17th August before traveling to the Blanton Museum of Art where Stacked Waters, a site specific installation by Fernández, was unveiled in January 2009. A catalogue with essays by Dave Hickey, Anne Stringfield and Gregory Volk accompanies the exhibition. In early 2010, Fernández will begin a residency at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute.
Tracey Emin will have her fourth exhibition with Lehmann Maupin at the 201 Chrystie Street gallery on 5th November. Following her successes at the 52nd International Venice Biennale and her traveling retrospective Tracey Emin: 20 Years at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga and the Kunstmuseum Bern, this new body of work touches on the recurring themes of love, sex and lust through embroideries, drawings, film and sculpture. Rizzoli published a new monograph this year titled One Thousand Drawings. Compiled in close collaboration with the artist this new publication is a comprehensive collection of Emin's works on paper, an important part of her process. In 2010, the Hayward Gallery will present the artist's first retrospective in London.
In addition to the exhibitions at the gallery, our artists are participating in a number of significant exhibitions worldwide.
