History
First opened in Chelsea, New York (1998), and later in downtown Moscow (2005) and Dubai (2022), the gallery focuses on contemporary Western art, the avant-garde of the early 20th century, photography, and design.
In 1989, Gary Tatintsian launched his inaugural art venture, the “Tatunz” gallery in Berlin, a pivotal hub for contemporary art at the time. The gallery stood among the pioneers in showcasing the works of Russian avant-garde artists like Alexander Rodchenko, Boris Mikhailov, Vladimir Nemukhin, Eduard Steinberg, Ilya Kabakov and Evgeny Chubarov. It was also the first to exhibit the works by Zaha Hadid in 1991. Concurrently, the gallery initiated collaborations with promising Western artists, who would later become key figures in the Western art market.
In 2013, the gallery expanded its space in the Kitay-Gorod district in Moscow city center. The gallery occupied 13,000 square feet (1,200 square meters) at the ArtHouse building, designed by architect Sergey Skuratov. It soon became one of the city’s largest private venues for international contemporary art, events, and public talks, highlighting iconic contemporary artists and trends in conceptual art. It was the first gallery in Moscow to exhibit works by George Condo, Peter Halley, Damien Hirst, Francis Bacon, Tony Matelli, Carroll Dunham, John Currin, Wim Delvoye, and other notable artists.[1]
In 2022, the gallery expanded its international presence by relocating to Dubai, UAE, featuring the first solo exhibition in the region of the renowned YBA artist Mat Collishaw. Since then, the gallery's art projects have introduced the Dubai audience to works by Western contemporary masters such as Ron Arad, George Condo, Peter Saul, Malcolm Morley, Peter Halley, and Jenny Holzer.
Following decades of representation of the renowned abstract artist Evgeny Chubarov, Tatintsian Gallery established the Evgeny Chubarov Foundation, which owns and promotes the legacy of over 200 significant paintings and drawings by the artist.[2]
