RICHARD TAITTINGER GALLERY was founded in 2014 by Richard Frerejean Taittinger at 154 Ludlow Street. A 6,000 sq ft space on 3 floors designed by Studio MDA. A pioneer of New York City’s Lower East Side art scene, today RTG is surrounded by cultural institutions including the New Museum, the International Center for Photography, and the Brant Foundation. RTG represents a diverse roster of leading international artists at various stages of their careers covering every medium and photography. Working closely with Museum curators, RTG had successfully placed works by our artists in over 24 prestigious Museum collections. RTG advocates for price transparency and democratization of the art world showing artists from outside the traditional art world system together with established talents. In 2019 RTG launched a print program offering affordable works starting at $500 to encourage collecting.
RICHARD TAITTINGER GALLERY supports artists attuned to ethical values, human rights, diversity, feminism, and environmental issues.

ACCESSIBILITY
154 Ludlow Street is extremely accessible; both geographically and architecturally. The space is blocks away from luxury hotels, parking garages, and primary thoroughfares of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The building’s façade opens at street level, allowing for ease of access for crowds, as well as for the transportation of oversized commodities.
FLEXIBILITY
The gallery space is suitable for both large-scale and intimate professional functions. The ground floor can accommodate up to 500 guests. The central core of the gallery is narrow, which can be outfitted to complement a long dining table. There is a bar structure which can be used for food and drink preparation. The two-story walls in the front and back galleries provide optimal branding opportunities.
ATMOSPHERE
Award-winning architect, Markus Dochantschi, of MDA Studio designed the Gallery. The modern design features concrete floors, loft ceilings, three separate custom lighting tracks, and skylight. Internationally renowned artists and their works will surface as the backdrop for evening events.
