Continuing a tradition begun over two decades ago, Mnuchin Gallery presents thoughtfully curated, carefully researched exhibitions, documented with scholarly publications. Its first year of programming comprised two major solo shows of Ellsworth Kelly and Donald Judd, each highlighting bodies of work that had never been the subject of a focused exhibition. Both were critical and commercial successes that resulted in important placements with various American museums. Advising institutional and prominent private clients has remained a core focus, with particular expertise in artists such as Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and Clyfford Still, among others. The gallery has also selectively promoted reclusive primary artists such as David Hammons and El Anatsui on a collaborative basis with exciting results. Combining the historical with the contemporary has been something the gallery has done masterfully, most recently with "Casting Modernity: Bronze in the Twentieth Century," which saw works as diverse as Matisse and Koons, brought together in what has been arguably its most acclaimed exhibition to date.
