For almost a decade, Alan Koppel Gallery has played a leading role in introducing contemporary international artists to American audiences. In addition to organizing extensive solo and group exhibitions of new work by gallery artists, the gallery maintains an inventory of select primary and secondary works by leading artists from the major movements in 20th Century American and European Art. Artists to first exhibit with us in Chicago include important mid-career artists like Robert Moskowitz, Bruce Conner and Jacques Villeglé, younger artists like Edward Lipski and Katharina Bosse and the estate of Eugéne Leroy. In the mid-1990s, Alan Koppel’s successful private gallery turned public with the opening of his first space in Chicago’s John Hancock Center where the first solo exhibition was new work by Peter Halley. In 2001, the gallery moved and expanded its size and presence to a 4,000 square foot gallery in Chicago’s long-established River North gallery district. The inaugural blockbuster exhibition paired new work by Jacques Villeglé with furniture by Jean Prouve. During the last two years, the gallery’s exhibition schedule has developed to six exhibitions of new art or group shows a year. The gallery also specializes in French and Italian Modernist furniture and design from the 1920s thru 1960s. Each piece is carefully selected with sensitive eye towards condition, aesthetics and functionality. Some of the designers we carry are Jean Prouve, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Royere, Carlo Mollino, Otto Wagner, Carlo Graffi, Jacques Adnet and Maxime Old. [show less]
