Mendes Wood DM

Founded in São Paulo, Mendes Wood DM has garnered acclaim for its promotion of critical conversation and the cross-pollination of ideas. The gallery embraces the individuality of each artist while highlighting intersections between practices that initially seem disparate. Its New York gallery famously opened in 2017 with a series of double exhibitions juxtaposing the historic and the contemporary, including an exhibition of sculptures by two iconic artists exploring mixed media: German neo-expressionist A.R. Penck and Brazilian contemporary artist Sonia Gomes. Mendes Wood DM opened its first gallery space in Paris in 2023, taking up residence at the Hôtel de l’Escalopier on Place des Vosges in the Marais. Visitors can stroll through the august arcades of the historic square while contemplating the gallery’s cutting-edge contemporary art.
