Venus Over Manhattan is a contemporary art gallery based in New York City founded in 2012 by Adam Lindemann. The gallery has presented exhibitions of historical and contemporary artists, organized retrospectives, managed artist estates, and produced publications tied to exhibitions. It operates within a network of galleries, museums, collectors, curators, and institutions in the international art world.
The gallery opened amid the post-2008 recovery affecting New York City's art market and alongside contemporaneous developments at institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and commercial venues like Gagosian and David Zwirner. Early programming intersected with scholarship connected to artists who have appeared in exhibitions at Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, Stedelijk Museum, Venice Biennale, and Documenta. Venus Over Manhattan's activities have been noted alongside auction houses such as Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips and in dialogues with collectors associated with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Dia Art Foundation, and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Founded by Adam Lindemann, who is also a collector and author, the gallery's leadership has coordinated with directors, curators, and advisors from institutions including National Gallery of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, and Princeton University Art Museum. Lindemann's involvement situates the gallery among private dealers who interact with curators from New Museum, New York University, Columbia University, Harvard Art Museums, and international curators tied to MASS MoCA and ICA London.
The gallery's exhibition schedule has included solo and group shows paralleling survey exhibitions at Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and biennials such as the Venice Biennale and Berlin Biennale. Programs have featured historical reappraisals similar to those mounted at Studio Museum in Harlem, Hammer Museum, Haus der Kunst, Museum Ludwig, and Fondation Louis Vuitton. Curatorial collaborations have involved figures associated with The Andy Warhol Museum, The Morgan Library & Museum, Nasher Sculpture Center, and academic departments at Yale University and Columbia University.
The gallery has shown work by artists whose estates or oeuvres have been featured in exhibitions at Tate Britain, Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Palazzo Grassi, and Castello di Rivoli. Collaborations with represented estates align the gallery with estate managers who have worked with institutions like Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat-related projects, Estate of Andy Warhol initiatives, and foundations such as Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Marian Goodman Gallery-represented artists. Specific artists and estates have participated in fairs and partnerships with Art Basel, Frieze London, TEFAF, Armory Show, and FIAC.
Critical responses have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Artforum, Art in America, and ARTnews, with reviews comparing exhibitions to shows at museums including Whitney Museum of American Art and Brooklyn Museum. Controversies surrounding exhibitions and market activity have involved debate similar to disputes seen around dealers and institutions like Marian Goodman Gallery, Gagosian, and auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. Discussions in the press have also referenced curatorial practices associated with institutions like MoMA PS1, Serpentine Galleries, and Kunsthalle Basel.
The gallery's spaces in New York City have been situated in gallery districts proximate to Chelsea, Manhattan, Tribeca, and neighborhoods that host venues such as Chelsea Market-adjacent galleries and artist-run spaces akin to Chashama and Dia Chelsea. Architectural considerations and installations have been compared to site-specific commissions at Dia Beacon, Kunstverein Hannover, Guggenheim Bilbao, and private foundations including Fondation Beyeler and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Exhibition design has involved collaborations with fabricators and architects experienced with projects at The High Line, Hudson Yards, and institutional renovations similar to those at The Met Breuer.
Venus Over Manhattan has produced exhibition catalogues, essays, and books accompanying shows, engaging writers and scholars affiliated with Yale University Press, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, and periodicals including Aperture, Bomb Magazine, and Frieze. Catalogues have featured scholarship in dialogue with texts and archival materials comparable to those published by Tate Publishing, Skira, Phaidon Press, and museum presses at MoMA, Guggenheim Museum, and Harvard Art Museums.
