Thank You From Fotografiska New York

After more than five incredible years of celebrating cutting-edge art and photography, Fotografiska New York has decided to close our physical location in New York City. As we bid farewell to our home at 281 Park Avenue South, we’ll also be closing the doors to Verōnika Bar and Restaurant. Chapel Bar is now operating under new management and available for reservations.

Our tenure at the Park Avenue South location is marked by 48 prominent and diverse exhibitions, covering global issues to local narratives, and drawing in hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe. Some highlights include the first exhibition celebrating 50 Years of Hip-Hop, the first lifetime retrospective in the US of David LaChapelle’s work, introducing Daniel Arsham’s photography work, and premiering Andres Serrano’s Infamous series. We also proudly mounted exhibitions of New York City-based artists such as Kia LaBeija, Adrienne Raquel, Martin Schoeller, Pixy Liao, and Ethan James Green, as well as ground-breaking shows by international artists such as JosèfaNtjam, Hassan Hajjaj, and Tony Gum, among others. Several of these inspiring and provoking exhibitions are touring Fotografiska’s international locations in Berlin, Stockholm, Tallinn and Shanghai.

Since its opening in 2019, Fotografiska’s New York location has been a cornerstone of diverse cultural exploration in the heart of Manhattan. Through the challenges of the pandemic, our institution remained steadfast in its mission to inspire new perspectives that contribute to a more conscious world.

As we navigate this closure, we remain committed to fostering a global community of art lovers through our locations in Stockholm, Tallinn, Berlin, Shanghai, and soon to be Oslo. We extend our deepest gratitude to our tremendous staff for their dedication and talent that contributed to our success as well as our enthusiastic community, members and partners for supporting us on this remarkable journey. And not least all our fantastic artists, who have exhibited at Fotografiska New York to date:

Thank you for being on this journey with us.
