Alexander and Bonin was established in 1995 in New York City by Carolyn Alexander and Ted Bonin with the primary purpose of representing and supporting the work of emerging, mid-career and established international contemporary artists. Since its inception, the gallery has worked closely with museums and public institutions around the world and has established a reputation for a rigorous and diverse programme. In 1997, Alexander and Bonin moved to a three story building in Chelsea, and in 2016 moved to its current location at 47 Walker Street in Tribeca.
