511 GALLERY and 511 PROJECTS is a salon-style gallery (but open to the public) of contemporary art operating out of The Chelsea Mercantile Building on Seventh Avenue. 511 Gallery represents ten artists, international as well as American, who work in the media of painting, photography, sculpture, and site-specific art. 511 Projects has two distinct practices: a secondary market, or “backroom” practice in the deaccessioning and acquisition of American and European art of the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries – with particular expertise in the genres of American Impressionism, American Modernism, Hudson River School, and Photography – on behalf of public and private collections; and a curatorial practice in which we organize exhibitions for museums, art centers, and corporate venues. The primary mission of both 511 Gallery and 511 Projects is to place fine artworks in public institutions.
