About Us:

Independent is an organization for the discovery and rediscovery of extraordinary art for discerning collectors and institutions. 

Originally established in 2010 with an art exhibition at the former Dia Center for the Arts, we now produce two landmark shows (Independent and Independent 20th Century), publish editorial features and scholarship, and program a range of events that bring together leading artists, gallerists, curators, and thought leaders. 

The art world is not a level playing field: great art alone is no longer enough to ensure success. We are dedicated to creating spaces where exceptional art, artists, and gallerists can thrive, joining a deep understanding of both the market and museum landscape to deliver real impact. We live in an uncertain world, with an uncertain future — but art is and will always be a certainty.
