Haines Gallery, established in 1987, has over the last 24 years consistently maintained a distinctive position within a contemporary art discourse. Our exhibition program supports both emerging and established artists who engage conceptually with an underlying interest in the descriptors of place.
We have also developed a focus on public art projects and were the representing gallery for commissions by James Turrell and Andy Goldsworthy at the de Young Museum, Andy Goldsworthy in the Presidio and Aspen Institute, Bill Fontana in the rotunda of San Francisco City Hall, and Alan Rath’s installation at the Oakland airport, to state a few.
Employing a highly individualistic curatorial stance, Haines Gallery has been among the first to identify and support artists who have over time achieved critical acclaim. We were first in the west coast to exhibit Ai Weiwei (2010) and the first in the US to exhibit Andy Goldsworthy (1992), Liza Lou (1996), Kota Ezawa (2003), and Zhan Wang (2008); our YBA exhibition proceeded the Brooklyn Museum’s (1999); our first exhibition with Shirin Neshat was at Haines Gallery in 1994.
