History

[edit]

Originally located in SoHo, the gallery moved to Chelsea in 1998, and in 2006 underwent a major renovation that doubled the exhibition space, adding 5,000 square feet of gallery space on the ground floor. The exhibition schedule utilizes both the upstairs and downstairs galleries, showing work by two different artists concurrently, and rotating exhibitions approximately every six weeks for 10-12 shows per year. In addition, Tanya Bonakdar regularly participates in the major annual international art fairs such as Art Basel, Frieze Art Fair, Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show and Art Dealers Association of America Art Show.[1]

Tanya Bonakdar is a member of the Board of Directors of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). [2]
