Blum-Poe

Tim Blum and Jeff Poe founded Blum & Poe in September 1994 in Santa Monica, California.  Since that time, they have developed a strong reputation for fostering the careers of Los Angeles-based and international artists by expanding their presence through world-class exhibitions and participation in important art fairs. In September 2003, the gallery relocated from Santa Monica to a 5,000 square foot industrial warehouse on La Cienega Boulevard, redesigned by the architectural firm Escher GuneWardena. This move was pivotal to the migration of the art community to the Culver City area, now home to over a dozen galleries.  In 2009 Blum & Poe moved again to a nearby 22,000 square foot space in Culver City. This solidified Blum & Poe’s commitment to providing impeccable exhibition space for museum quality shows. Blum & Poe remains strongly committed to working closely with artists to produce and display works of significant ambition, a prime example being "Requiem for the Sun: The Art of Mono-ha", the first North American survey of this important art movement that encompassed the gallery’s entire indoor and outdoor space, with several site-specific artworks produced on-site. Other notable exhibitions include "From All Sides: Tansaekhwa on Abstraction", a large-scale survey of Korean monochromatic painting from the 1960s to the 1980s, and Karel Appel’s first solo exhibition in New York in over forty years. In the spring of 2014, Blum & Poe opened a second gallery on the Upper East Side of New York City. In September 2014, Blum & Poe opened a third space in Tokyo, Japan, which functions as a base for Asian operations and cements the gallery’s long-standing relationship with post-war Japanese art. Blum & Poe continues to grow and promote its artists, while also being a vital participant in the international art community.
