Over the past four decades the gallery has earned a reputation for introducing international artists to American audiences and developing young and mid-career artists, who have gone on to gain worldwide acclaim. The gallery has presented the first New York exhibitions of artists Nick Cave, Hayv Kahraman, Kerry James Marshall, Meleko Mokgosi, Richard Mosse, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Hank Willis Thomas, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, among many others. Today, Jack Shainman Gallery is celebrated for its multicultural roster of emerging and established artists and estates who engage in the social and cultural issues of their time. The gallery was founded in 1984 in Washington, D.C. by Jack Shainman and Claude Simard (1956-2014). Soon after opening, the Gallery relocated to New York City, first in the East Village before moving to Soho and finally, in 1997, to its current location in Chelsea. In 2013, the Gallery opened two additional exhibition spaces, one in Chelsea, which operated until 2022, and a second in a converted 30,000 square foot building in Kinderhook, NY known as The School, which continues today. In January 2025, Shainman launched his new flagship gallery in Tribeca.
