Sandra Gering of Sandra Gering Gallery, New York and Javier López, of Galería Javier López, Madrid became partners in September 2006, founding GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY. In January 2007, GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY moved to its current Fifth Avenue location, marked by an inaugural solo exhibition of light works by Leo Villareal. The gallery is located in the historic Crown Building at 730 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets in Midtown Manhattan. Architects Warren & Wetmore designed the building in 1921 with the elegance of a French Renaissance sensibility. Joel Sanders Architect of New York designed the new interior space.
Sandra Gering first opened her gallery in May of 1991 on Broome Street in Soho. During these years, the gallery presented groundbreaking exhibitions by such artists as Janine Antoni, Orlan, William Anastasi, and Dove Bradshaw. After a decade, the gallery moved to a ground floor space in Chelsea on 22nd Street. The gallery's program focused on new media artists, placing their usage of cutting-edge technology and materials within a proper historical context. Such artists included John F. Simon, Jane Simpson, Xavier Veilhan, Vincent Szarek, David Tremlett, and Karim Rashid.
In June of 1995, Galería Javier López opened in London with a program that included artists Martin Creed, Thomas Ruff, Simon Martin, and Alix Lambert. In February 1996, the gallery moved to its present location in Madrid. Galería Javier López shows mid-career artists working in diverse media including David Levinthal, John F. Simon, Alex Katz, Hannah Collins, and Jenny Holzer. The gallery seeks to contribute to the Spanish art community by promoting artists who, while popular in other locations, are lesser known in Madrid. Galería Javier López has developed the presence in Madrid of such artists as Nobuyoshi Araki, John Armleder, Andreas Gursky, Peter Halley, Sarah Morris, Jack Pierson and Lorna Simpson as well as Victor Burgin, Robert Indiana, Donald Judd and Edward Ruscha.
Over the past eighteen years, Sandra Gering and Javier López have exhibited outstanding international emerging and mid-career artists. The galleries presented the first solo exhibitions of artists such as José Antonio Hernández-Díez, Xavier Veilhan, and Leo Villareal. GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY has supported a multifarious program, exhibiting emerging artists such as KAWS along with established artists including Dan Flavin and Josef Albers. The gallery has worked with numerous curators, including artist Michael Bevilacqua for the 2007 group exhibition POPcentric, as well as Mitchell Algus for his 2008 art historical group exhibition No Images of Man. Throughout the years, GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY has participated in many art fairs, including Art Basel Miami Beach, Frieze (London), the Armory Show (New York), Pulse (Miami), ARCO (Madrid), Art Chicago, the San Francisco Art Fair, Art Santa Fe, and the Guadalajara Art Fair.
