Petzel

Friedrich Petzel Gallery first opened its doors in New York City in 1994 on Wooster Street in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood. In 2000, the gallery relocated to 537 West 22nd Street in Chelsea’s newly burgeoning arts district, further expanding in 2006 to include a separate neighboring space dedicated to smaller exhibitions, artists’ projects, and performances. In the fall of 2008, Petzel Gallery and Galerie Gisela Capitain joined forces to open Capitain Petzel, which is housed in a glass-encased, architecturally significant 1964 Modernist building from the Socialist era located in Berlin’s Mitte section. This collective effort created the unique opportunity to unite artists represented by both galleries on a global scale, with ambitious exhibitions being presented in tandem with the development of an original program specific to the Berlin-based space. After over a decade on 22nd Street, Petzel Gallery moved into a new location in lower Chelsea at 456 West 18th Street in 2012. In March of 2015, the gallery, now known simply as Petzel, expanded to open a second New York outpost in a townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 35 East 67th Street. Acting as an active platform to consign historical works by artists within the Petzel program in addition to placing focus on curatorial projects and collaborative exhibitions, Petzel’s Upper East Side location promotes the gallery’s long-standing interest in fostering artistic exchange and dialogue.

In the Fall of 2022, Petzel opened a new 16,000 square foot flagship location at 520 West 25th in the heart of Chelsea. Adding increased visibility and further flexibility, the three-story building features three exhibition spaces, and encompasses a custom-built street-level bookstore, multiple private viewing rooms, and a roof terrace with sculpture garden. Here, the gallery continues to thrive in its commitment to cultivating a dynamic program dedicated to the innovation, diversity, and ambitions of each of its artists.
