Andrew Edlin Gallery was established in 2001 in a loft space in Chelsea with a program focused on outsider artists. In 2002, the gallery relocated to 20th street and received acclaim for being the first to exhibit the works of legendary Swiss artist Hans Krüsi in North America. In 2006, the gallery was awarded exclusive representation of the estate of Henry Darger. In 2009, the gallery moved to a light-filled ground floor space in lower Chelsea where it continued to hold provocative exhibitions of both trained and untrained artists. In subsequent years the gallery represented Thornton Dial and the Estate of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, and currently the estates of Beverly Buchanan, Paulina Peavy and Spain Rodriguez.
Our current roster of artists features Joe Coleman, Karla Knight, Ray Materson, Melvin Way, George Widener and Domenico Zindato.
Over the years, Andrew Edlin has participated in numerous art fairs, including the Outsider Art Fair, Armory, Frieze, Art Forum Berlin, FIAC, Independent, Art Brussels, Art Basel Miami Beach, Paris + Par Art Basel, and ADAA Art Show. In December 2015, Andrew Edlin Gallery renovated and moved into a 5,000 square foot space at 212 Bowery.
