  • About

    Our founder Kavi Gupta established his namesake gallery in 2000, in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. Today, we operate multiple museum-quality exhibition spaces at 835 W. Washington Blvd. in Chicago, and 219/215 E. Buffalo St. in New Buffalo, Michigan, as well as a large-scale warehouse and conservation center and a dedicated space for research and archives. Our publishing imprint, Kavi Gupta | Editions, designs and publishes high-quality monographs, exhibition catalogues, artist editions, and academic texts, while regularly partnering with institutions and such art publishing leaders as Skira, Mousse, Phaidon, and DAP.

     

    In addition to facilitating major exhibitions, and participating in vital international art fairs such as Frieze New York and London, Frieze Masters, Art Basel Miami Beach, Untitled Art Miami Beach, Art Basel Hong Kong, EXPO Chicago, and the New York Armory Show, we host artist talks, and special programming in support of philanthropic causes, fostering intellectual discourse by regularly bringing artists, curators, and collectors together with academics and experts in the contemporary art field.

     

     

  • Acknowledgment

    We acknowledge that our galleries are located on the traditional homelands of the Council of the Three Fires the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. We also recognize the enduring relationships of many other Indigenous Nations to this region, including the Myaamia (Miami), Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Sac and Fox, Kickapoo, Mascouten, and Wea peoples.

     

    We know that these lands have long been places of gathering, exchange, and stewardship, and that many Indigenous communities were forcibly displaced through colonization and broken treaties. While a land acknowledgment alone cannot address these histories or their ongoing impacts, we seek to honor the enduring presence, sovereignty, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, whose relationships to this land continue today.
