In September 2006, Sandra Gering, of Sandra Gering Gallery, New York, and Javier López, of Galería Javier López, Madrid, partnered together to establish GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY. The gallery is located in the historic Crown Building, located at 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Sandra Gering Gallery opened in May of 1991 in Soho, where the gallery operated until moving to a ground floor space at 534 West 22nd Street in May of 2001. Over the past fifteen years the gallery became known for exhibiting both outstanding emerging artists, and more established artists of the late 20th Century. The gallery's focus was on artists who use cutting-edge technology and materials, and on placing those artists within a historical context.
The gallery presented the first New York solo exhibitions of artists such as Janine Antoni, José Antonio Hernández-Díez, Xavier Veilhan, and Leo Villareal. The gallery was dedicated to exhibiting artists who have reached the difficult mid-career stage, confronting the fact that the art world's obsession with "the new" makes it difficult for many excellent, still exciting artists to get the attention they deserve. Among the artists of this earlier generation exhibited at the gallery include Craig Kauffman and Nancy Dwyer.
Javier López Gallery opened in London in June 1995 with a cutting edge program that included projects by Alix Lambert, the X-Art Foundation, Martin Creed, Simon Martin and Thomas Ruff. In February 1996, the gallery moved to Madrid, where its aim has been to present a program of both young and established artists, who are producing relevant and innovative work in different media. The gallery supports and shows regularly with Hannah Collins, Liam Gillick, Peter Halley, Alex Katz, Matthew McCaslin, Igor Mischiyev, Tatsuo Miyajima, Jane Simpson, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Xavier Veilhan, Leo Villareal and José Mª Yturralde. Throughout the years, the gallery has also invited artists, whose relevance and lack of presence in Spain made their shows a significant contribution to the Madrid art scene, to present installations of their work. These have included Nobuyoshi Araki, John Armleder, Andreas Gursky, Jenny Holzer, Sarah Morris, Jack Pierson or Lorna Simpson as well as Victor Burgin, Robert Indiana, Donald Judd and Edward Ruscha, among others. Other recent projects include the presentation of a series of artist's films, including the forthcoming "Xavier Veilhan 256 jours" by Jordan Feldman, or signed limited editions of artist's books, such as the forthcoming Hannah Collins book, to be published this year by Black Dog Publishing.
Throughout the years, Sandra Gering Gallery and Galería Javier López have participated in Art Basel Miami Beach, Frieze (London), the Armory Show (New York), ARCO (Madrid), Art Chicago, the San Francisco Art Fair, Art Santa Fe, and the Guadalajara Art Fair; at the majority, in a shared booth. In addition, Sandra Gering was a member of the ARCO Organizing Committee for six years.
