After three years on 20th street in Chelsea, Claire Oliver Gallery moved to its present two-story ground floor location at 513 West 26th street in 2005.
The gallery’s program balances conceptual concern with a highly visual approach. A commitment to physical process and an intensity of detail is common to all of the gallery artists. This emphasis is seen clearly in the innovative stained glass work of Judith Schaechter, recent Guggenheim and USA Artist Fellowship recipient, as well as Kate Clark’s sculptures of human-animal hybrids.
The gallery is committed to showing new media works, which move the viewer through experimental time based and multi-sensory approaches, as seen in the projects of the Black Estate, whose work will be featured in the upcoming SITE Santa Fe biennale.
