Petzel Gallery

Gallery in The Chelsea 25th area

Friedrich Petzel Gallery, founded in 1993, first opened on Wooster Street in the Soho area of New York City. In 2000, the gallery moved to its current address at 537 West 22nd Street in Chelsea and in 2006 expanded to include a separate space next door dedicated to smaller exhibitions, artists' projects and performances. In Fall 2008, Friedrich Petzel Gallery opened a joint gallery with Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne. This new gallery, called Capitain Petzel, is housed in a glass-encased gallery located in Mitte section of Berlin and presents exhibitions of established international artists. After eleven years on 22nd Street, Petzel Gallery will close this space, expanding into a new location at 456 18th Street. The move to the new, larger 18th Street location continues Petzel Gallery’s commitment to develop its program upon the scope, diversity, and ambitions of the artists that it represents.
