Paula Cooper Gallery, Art gallery in Chelsea district, Manhattan, US
Paula Cooper Gallery is an art space in Manhattan's Chelsea district with multiple exhibition levels displaying works by contemporary artists through rotating shows and ongoing collections. The rooms present a mix of established artistic heritage and current creative positions.
The gallery was founded in 1968 on Prince Street, starting with an exhibition supporting the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. It evolved from this activist beginning into an established art institution managing both artist estates and contemporary positions.
The gallery stewars the legacies of influential artists like Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt while presenting works by contemporary creators such as Christian Marclay and Cecily Brown. It serves as a bridge between art history and current creative voices in the New York art world.
The exhibition space is spread across multiple levels, allowing you to explore several projects simultaneously. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, giving you time to view works at a relaxed pace.
The gallery presented Christian Marclay's 'The Clock' in 2011, a 24-hour video installation made from thousands of film clips showing timepieces. This work condensed film history into a monumental look at time itself.
