## History

First opened in Chelsea, New York (1998), and later in downtown Moscow (2005) and Dubai (2022), the gallery focuses on contemporary Western art, the avant-garde of the early 20th century, photography, and design.
In 1989, Gary Tatintsian launched his inaugural art venture, the “Tatunz” gallery in Berlin, a pivotal hub for contemporary art at the time. The gallery stood among the pioneers in showcasing the works of Russian avant-garde artists like Alexander Rodchenko, Boris Mikhailov, Vladimir Nemukhin, Eduard Steinberg, Ilya Kabakov and Evgeny Chubarov. It was also the first to exhibit the works by Zaha Hadid in 1991. Concurrently, the gallery initiated collaborations with promising Western artists, who would later become key figures in the Western art market.
In 1998, the Tatintsian Gallery relocated to Manhattan, New York, expanding its roster to include notable artists such as Frank Stella, George Sugarman, Judy Pfaff, Leon Tarasewicz, Esko Mannikko and others.
The Moscow gallery, first opened in 2005 on Ilyinka Street next to Red Square, played a pioneering role in introducing Russian audiences to exhibitions by Western stars such as Peter Doig, Georg Baselitz, Christopher Wool, Tony Oursler, Cecily Brown, and Daniel Richter.
In 2013, the gallery expanded its space in the Kitay-Gorod district in Moscow city center. The gallery occupied 13,000 square feet (1,200 square meters) at the ArtHouse building, designed by architect Sergey Skuratov. It soon became one of the city’s largest private venues for international contemporary art, events, and public talks, highlighting iconic contemporary artists and trends in conceptual art. It was the first gallery in Moscow to exhibit works by George Condo, Peter Halley, Damien Hirst, Francis Bacon, Tony Matelli, Carroll Dunham, John Currin, Wim Delvoye, and other notable artists.
In 2007, together with Multimedia Art Museum Moscow, the gallery organized the first exhibition by Vik Muniz in the Manege Central Exhibition Hall. In 2014, in parallel with a solo show by Wim Delvoye, the artist’s exhibition ‘Mimicry’ was presented at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Art. In 2015, in collaboration with New York Pace Gallery, the gallery presented the first Moscow exhibition of renowned Korean minimalist Lee Ufan, whose work was later exhibited at The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg in a dedicated ‘The Cane of Titan’ show. In 2021, the gallery presented the major exhibition in Russia by the legendary portrait painter Chuck Close, which became the artist’s last lifetime exhibition.
Works from the gallery collection, including paintings and sculptures by Evgeny Chubarov, Damien Hirst, Tony Matelli, Peter Saul, Wim Delvoye, John Miller, and Joel-Peter Witkin, were presented at exhibitions in major Russian museums for contemporary art, such as Moscow GARAGE Museum of Contemporary Art; Multimedia Art Museum Moscow (MAMM), National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA), Moscow; and The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, along with the leading museums and art institutions worldwide.
In 2022, the gallery expanded its international presence by relocating to Dubai, UAE, featuring the first solo exhibition in the region of the renowned YBA artist Mat Collishaw. Since then, the gallery's art projects have introduced the Dubai audience to works by Western contemporary masters such as Ron Arad, George Condo, Peter Saul, Malcolm Morley, Peter Halley, and Jenny Holzer.
Following decades of representation of the renowned abstract artist Evgeny Chubarov, Tatintsian Gallery established the Evgeny Chubarov Foundation, which owns and promotes the legacy of over 200 significant paintings and drawings by the artist.
