One of San Francisco’s most internationally renowned private galleries for contemporary art, Frey Norris has set a standard for thought provoking programming for nearly eight years. In February 2011, we will celebrate our grand re-opening, in a new 5,100 square foot space designed by award winning architectural firm Gensler and Associates near SFMOMA. This distinctive and flexible new space will allow an expansion of the gallery’s globally aware program in the coming years. In addition to an eclectic calendar of exhibitions, Frey Norris publishes catalogues and books, hosts art oriented charitable and community events, and houses a growing library and archive. The gallery participates consistently in art fairs in Miami, Dubai, Hong Kong and New York. Through this diverse array of activities we attract a broad audience seeking guidance in navigating a complex and evolving global art market.

Our exhibitions and artists have been reviewed and featured in The New York Times, ArtForum, The International Herald Tribune, The Economist, The San Francisco Chronicle, Art in America, ARTnews, Art Ltd., Art Week, 7×7 Magazine, Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art, SF Weekly, KQED’s arts program Spark, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and on the Internet at Artnet, SF Gate, Artslant, Flavorpill and Shotgun Review, among others. We have placed works in and have leant art to museums and important collections around the world, including the de Young Museum, The Cantor Art Center at Stanford University, The Seattle Art Museum, SFMOMA, The Museum of Art and Design in New York, The Palazzo Reale in Milan, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Argentina, The American Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq and the Museo de Monterey and Museum of Modern Art in Mexico.

Our contemporary gallery features a varied roster of artists from around the world, with a focus on those currently active in California and Asia. We have hosted the American debuts of some of the most important artists in China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Iraq and Japan. These exhibitions provoke and challenge, exploring new modes of meaning and expressing innovative perspectives in a wide range of media, including painting, works on paper, sculpture, video, and installation.
