Danese opened in New York in 1997 with concurrent exhibitions – Dan Flavin’s iconic sculptures ‘Monuments’ to V. Tatlin, and rare drawings by Kazimir Malevich. Since then, the gallery has built a successful international reputation with a focus on the representation of contemporary artists and estates. Danese has presented a continuous program of exhibitions by gallery artists including Larry Bell, Emily Eveleth, April Gornik, Dimitri Hadzi, Bryan Hunt, Warren Isensee, Barry Le Va, Larry Poons, Richard Serra, Julian Stanczak, and Anne Truitt. Interspersed with these shows have been several special exhibitions of twentieth century art that have particular significance within the context of the gallery’s program: Frank Stella, Mark di Suvero, Yves Klein, Sonia & Robert Delaunay, Ronald Bladen, Hamish Fulton, Josef Albers, Sean Scully, John Wesley, and Tom Wesselmann. The gallery has commissioned a number of catalogue essays from known scholars including Dave Hickey, Donald Kuspit, Karen Lang and John Yau.
