The Ki Smith Gallery is an art gallery on the Lower East Side of New York City.[1] Founded in 2019 by Ki Smith with MoMA rights coordinator[2] Naomi Falk,[3] the gallery represents emerging artists.[4][5][6]

History[]

Ki Smith grew up in the Lower East Side art scene of New York City.[7] A graduate of Rudolf Steiner School[8] in New York, he founded Apostrophe Gallery in Brooklyn, which he ran with his brother Sei Smith from 2012 to 2018.[9] The gallery was best known for its guerilla art exhibitions at The Whitney Museum of American Art and MoMA PS1.[10]

In 2019, he and editorial director Naomi Falk (also of Archway Editions)[11] opened Ki Smith Gallery's first brick and mortar location at 712 W 125th Street in Harlem, where they remained for two years showcasing their represented artists and developing a publication program.[12][5] They brought on Claire Foussard who acted as Gallery Director from 2019 to 2021.[13] In 2020, the Gallery moved downtown to open two locations in the Lower East Side at 311 East 3rd Street and 197 East 4th Street, where it remains today.[7][9] In 2021 they collaborated with the Arte Laguna Prize as part of their "Artist in Gallery" special prize.[14] Contributing writers for publications include Chris Molnar.[6][15]
