JIM KEMPNER FINE ART
Jim Kempner Fine Art specializes in contemporary art, with a strong focus on master prints. Since opening in 1997 in Chelsea, the gallery has built an exceptional inventory for both seasoned and emerging collectors. Featuring prints and works on paper by modern and contemporary masters like Louise Bourgeois, Jasper Johns, Helen Frankenthaler, and Robert Rauschenberg, we also represent dynamic painters, photographers, and sculptors, including Christopher Beane, Charlie Hewitt, and Boaz Vaadia. Committed to education and engagement, the gallery fosters a deeper appreciation for collecting at all levels.
Designed by architects Smith & Thompson, our acclaimed modernist building has been featured in books on contemporary architecture. The outdoor sculpture garden—one of the few in New York—has showcased works by renowned artists such as Robert Indiana, Keith Haring, and Isamu Noguchi.
Jim Kempner is also the creator/writer/star of the cult comedy web-series The Madness of Art, as well as the artistic creator of three editioned prints.
Jim Kempner Fine Art, on the corner of 23rd and 10th, continues to imbue that old-school art world feel: a place where his artists, clients and neighbors regularly stop by to view great work, hang out for a bit and talk of art, life and the gap between.
