Kristen Lorello

Founded in 2014 by Kristen Lorello, the gallery has carved out a distinctive presence within New York’s contemporary art landscape. Initially located on Chrystie Street and now situated on the Upper East Side, the gallery maintains an intimate yet ambitious program that champions a focused roster of living artists. Each artist represented shares a deep commitment to craftsmanship, a rigorous conceptual approach, and an ongoing engagement with their artistic development.

Kristen Lorello Gallery offers a space where precision, thoughtfulness, and originality converge. Monthly rotating exhibitions bring forward new perspectives and invite visitors into close dialogue with the evolving practices of its artists. These exhibitions are always free and accessible to the public, underscoring the gallery’s belief in art as an open, democratic experience.

The gallery’s approach is grounded in long-term relationships—both with artists and collectors. Kristen Lorello brings to her endeavor a background shaped by years at the respected Greenberg Van Doren Gallery, where she held leadership roles and played an instrumental role in the creation of Eleven Rivington. Her academic foundation, including a Fulbright Fellowship to Italy and a master’s degree in art history, informs a curatorial sensibility that values intellectual depth and historical awareness.

Collectors working with the gallery are offered not just access to distinctive contemporary works, but a professional, trustworthy experience rooted in transparency and expertise. Kristen Lorello’s commitment to representing artists with vision and integrity has helped to build a program that feels both personal and forward-looking.

At its core, the gallery reflects a belief in the enduring power of serious, well-made art—work that speaks through material and concept alike, and that continues to resonate long after the exhibition ends. It stands as a quiet but confident voice in the city’s vibrant cultural conversation.
