David Kordansky Gallery

David Kordansky Gallery is an art gallery established in Los Angeles's Chinatown neighborhood in 2003.

History

The gallery was founded by David Kordansky, a former conceptual and performance artist, in a space on Bernard Street in L.A.’s Chinatown neighborhood. In 2008, the gallery opened its main location in Culver City and, in 2014, expanded to Los Angeles's Mid-City district where it tripled its size to more than 20,000 square feet. The space was designed by architecture firm WHY and includes two large galleries as well as offices, a library and gardens.

In 2022, the gallery opened a new space in New York City.
