Edwynn Houk Gallery is delighted to announce New Construction(s), the inaugural exhibition at our new location at 693 Fifth Avenue. This exhibition celebrates artistic innovation and reinvention, mirroring the gallery’s own transformation as we embark on an exciting new chapter.
Inspired by our relocation and the complete redesign of our space, New Construction(s) marks a moment of renewal. After nearly three decades at our previous flagship, this exhibition reflects both the evolution of our artists and the gallery itself. Featuring recent works that explore new materials, techniques, and conceptual approaches, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the future of each artist’s practice.
The title New Construction(s) underscores the creative possibilities that emerge in times of change. It also reaffirms our commitment to championing artists who push the boundaries of their medium, embracing experimentation and reinvention.
The exhibition includes works by Valérie Belin, Gregory Crewdson, Lalla Essaydi, Sissi Farassat, Adam Fuss, Sally Mann, Abelardo Morell, Ron Norsworthy, Matthew Pillsbury, Robert Polidori, Stephen Shore, Jessica Wynne, and Lee Shulman & The Anonymous Project. By bringing together artists who have long defined our contemporary program with those newly presented by the gallery, New Construction(s) highlights continuity and transformation in equal measure.
Edwynn Houk Gallery's History & New Home at 693 Fifth Avenue
Founded in 1977 in Chicago, Edwynn Houk Gallery has been a leader in presenting artists who redefine the photographic medium, from pioneering modernists to today’s most influential voices. The gallery has long specialized in vintage photography from 1917-1939, exhibiting works by Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, Dora Maar, László Moholy-Nagy, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, André Kertész, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, El Lissitzky, Margaret Bourke-White, Brassaï, and Bill Brandt.
Since the 1990s, the gallery has expanded its focus to contemporary photography, shaping the discourse of the medium today. Now, with a newly designed 7,000-square-foot space at 693 Fifth Avenue—just one block from The Museum of Modern Art in a building originally designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee—Edwynn Houk Gallery continues its mission to showcase groundbreaking photographic works that define our time.
