Stable Gallery

Stable Gallery is an art exhibition space in Manhattan housed in a former livery stable building on West 58th Street. The building contains multiple exhibition spaces across its floors designed for contemporary art displays.

Eleanor Ward founded the gallery in 1953, transforming a space that previously sold mannequins into a major venue for abstract art. The building became home to artists exploring new directions in art.

The gallery served as a space where artists could display their work and visitors experienced the art world of its era firsthand. It helped make abstract art visible to a broader audience and established its significance in New York.

The gallery is open to visitors on regular days and provides current information about ongoing exhibitions through online platforms and printed materials. It helps to check on current exhibits before visiting to make the most of your time.

In the 1950s, annual Stable Annual exhibitions took place here featuring works by Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and other artists. These yearly presentations made the location a gathering point for those following abstract art.
