Tibor de Nagy Gallery, Art gallery in Manhattan, US
Tibor de Nagy Gallery is an art gallery in Midtown Manhattan, New York, showing paintings, drawings, and sculptures by both established and emerging artists. The exhibitions rotate throughout the year, so the works on view change from one visit to the next.
The gallery was founded in 1949 by Tibor de Nagy and John Bernard Myers at a time when Abstract Expressionism was reshaping the American art scene. Over the following decades, it widened its focus to include figurative work and other directions in contemporary art.
The gallery is known for building long relationships with its artists, sometimes spanning decades, which gives the shows a sense of continuity rather than novelty. Visitors often notice how the works on view connect to each other across different exhibitions over time.
Checking the gallery's website before your visit is a good idea, as exhibitions change regularly and it helps to know what is currently on show. The space is walkable from several Midtown Manhattan subway stops, making it easy to combine with other nearby stops.
The gallery manages the estates of both the poet John Ashbery and the Larry Rivers Foundation, which means it holds a role beyond simply showing art. This connection between poetry and painting goes back to the early years of the gallery, when literary and visual artists often crossed paths here.
