Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, a renowned art gallery based in New York City, has been a significant player in the international art scene since its establishment in 1989. Founded by Michael Rosenfeld, the gallery initially opened its doors to promote the breadth of American art and those artists – known or unknown – that contributed to the establishment of surrealism, social realism, abstract expressionism, figurative expressionism, and geometric abstraction. In 1992, halley k harrisburg joined the gallery, and together they have worked to expand the canon of American art.

The gallery, which specializes in twentieth and twenty-first-century art, moved to Chelsea in the fall of 2012, after twenty-four years on West 57th Street. The gallery is now located on the ground floor of the exquisite Jean Nouvel residential tower, 100 Eleventh Avenue (at 19th Street), in a 6500 square-foot space designed by Richard Gluckman of Gluckman Mayner.

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery has developed a diverse and challenging exhibition program. It has organized over one hundred eighty-five exhibitions, including solo exhibitions for artists like Benny Andrews, Mary Bauermeister, Romare Bearden, John Biggers, Federico Castellon, Jay DeFeo, Beauford Delaney, Burgoyne Diller, Morris Graves, Nancy Grossman, William H. Johnson, Blanche Lazzell, Hughie Lee-Smith, Norman Lewis, Seymour Lipton, Martha Madigan, Boris Margo, Irving Norman, Clifford Odets, Alfonso Ossorio, Fairfield Porter, Betye Saar, Charles Seliger, Charles Shaw, Theodoros Stamos, Louis Stone, Lenore Tawney, Alma Thomas, Pavel Tchelitchew, Bob Thompson, Charles White, Charmion von Wiegand, William T. Williams, James VanDerZee, Marguerite and William Zorach.

The gallery has also consistently presented thematic group exhibitions on Modernism, early American abstraction, realism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, and social realism from new perspectives. Many of these exhibitions have traveled to distinguished institutions throughout the United States, playing a significant role in highlighting the achievements of artists who had historically been marginalized in the mainstream art world due to both active and passive discrimination on the basis of race and gender.

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery stands as a beacon of twentieth and twenty-first-century art in New York City. Its commitment to fostering artistic talent, promoting international artists, and nurturing a love for art among the public has made it a significant player in the global art scene. As it continues to evolve and expand, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery remains dedicated to its mission of supporting and promoting the work of innovative and pioneering artists.
