Garth Greenan is a gallery in Brooklyn, NY. It exhibits established artists from the 1960s and 1970s whose work has been historically overlooked, alongside Indigenous artists working across painting, sculpture, and drawing.
Garth Greenan Gallery champions established artists who emerged during the 1960s and 1970s—work whose significance contemporary art history has overlooked. By re-presenting and recontextualizing these artists, the gallery questions the prevailing narrative and pushes for its revision. More recently, the gallery has expanded its mission to include a multigenerational group of Indigenous artists whose work carries both art historical and contemporary relevance. The gallery mounts seven exhibitions yearly, many accompanied by publications. The work moves between painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking—artists like Paul Feeley, Howardena Pindell, Rosalyn Drexler, and Melissa Cody, a Navajo weaver whose intricate pieces demand close attention. What animates the gallery is the belief that history can be rewritten, that canons are temporary, and that overlooked work deserves a second reading.
