Art Projects International's creative work

Art Projects International: Contemporary Art Gallery and Advisory

Art Projects International is a distinguished contemporary art gallery and art advisory located in the historic Tribeca district of New York City. Established in 1993 by Jung Lee Sanders, the gallery originally began its operations in SoHo before moving to its current location. Art Projects International is notably recognized as one of the few galleries founded in New York during the 1990s to specifically focus on contemporary artists from Asia, while also representing a diverse roster of artists from around the world. The gallery's mission is to provide a platform for leading artists with international backgrounds, bridging cultural gaps through visual media. Over its three-decade history, Art Projects International has cultivated deep relationships with curators, collectors, and institutions globally. Key artists represented by the gallery include Il Lee, known for his pioneering ballpoint pen works, Seokmin Ko for his acclaimed series "The Square", photographs by Yojiro Imasaka, Richard Tsao, known for his "flood room" paintings, and Mariano Ferrante, whose vibrant geometric abstractions are widely celebrated. The gallery's program includes a wide array of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography. Art Projects International provides personalized advisory services to museums, corporations, and private collectors, facilitating major acquisitions. Works by gallery artists are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Through its commitment to excellence, the gallery continues to host critically acclaimed exhibitions that receive attention from major publications like The New York Times and Artforum.
