Artists Space

Artists Space is a non-profit art gallery and arts organization first established at 155 Wooster Street in Soho, New York City. Founded in 1972 by Irving Sandler and Trudie Grace and funded by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), Artists Space provided an alternative support structure for young, emerging artists, separate from the museum and commercial gallery system. Artists Space has historically been engaged in critical dialogues surrounding institutional critique, racism, the AIDS crisis, and Occupy Wall Street.

Artists Space has provided a platform for many notable artists, including Laurie Anderson, John Baldessari, Judith Barry, Ericka Beckman, Ashley Bickerton, Barbara Bloom, Andrea Fraser, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Lyle Ashton Harris, Peter Halley, Jenny Holzer, Joan Jonas, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler, Robert Longo, Anthony McCall, John Miller, Adrian Piper, Lari Pittman, Tim Rollins, Cindy Sherman, Jack Smith, Michael Smith, Ted Stamm, Haim Steinbach, Stuart Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Frederick Weston, and Fred Wilson.
