Cheim & Read: Twenty-One Years

Published for the 21st anniversary of Cheim & Read, this book features a comprehensive record of the gallery’s exhibitions, including installation views and reproductions of seminal artworks.

Cheim & Read was founded in 1997 by John Cheim and Howard Read in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood and represents an international group of leading contemporary artists and estates. The gallery is known for critical monographic exhibitions, including museum-quality surveys of work by William Eggleston, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Joan Mitchell, Milton Resnick and Al Held. The gallery is also acclaimed for organizing historically significant group exhibitions such as The New Landscape/The New Still Life, an in-depth examination of Chaim Soutine’s influence on modern art; The Female Gaze: Women Look at Women; and I Am As You Will Be, a study of the skeleton and mortality in art.
