History

Carol Greene and Gloria Naftali founded Greene Naftali in 1995, making it one of the first galleries to open in Chelsea.[2] The gallery shows contemporary art in various media—including painting, video, music, and fashion—and has a reputation for championing emerging artists as well as historical figures,[3] including Rachel Harrison, Dan Graham, Jacqueline Humphries, Paul Chan, Helen Marten, Michael Krebber, and Tony Conrad

Greene Naftali is also renowned for its ambitious performance programming with music events by

Electrophilia with Jutta Koether & Steven Parrino. In 2008 and 2018, the gallery and Matthew Marks Gallery organized "Painting: Now and Forever", a large-scale, ongoing survey of contemporary painting, covering 10 years each.[4]

Greene Naftali has been featured in several "top galleries" lists, in publications such as Flash Art, Modern Painters (magazine), and artnet.[5][6][7]
