About
The Gallery
Anthony Gallery was founded in 2019 in Chicago’s Fulton River District neighborhood. 1998, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition was an homage to the landmark NBA All-Star Game and established Otabor’s knack for weaving together different strands of Chicago’s artist community.
Since its inception, Anthony Gallery has carved out a unique space in the contemporary art world. Otabor’s curatorial approach builds bridges between artists who do not traditionally exhibit together, spanning both career stage and medium, connecting historical icons such as Barbara Kruger, established voices like Lauren Halsey, emerging talents like Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., and cross-field creatives such as Tom Sachs, Renell Medrano, and Tyrrell Winston.
In the Fall of 2025, the gallery extended this vision to Europe with the opening of Anthony Gallery Amsterdam, its first official European location. The new space debuted with Proost!, a solo exhibition of new works by Chicago artist Tony Lewis. Across locations, Anthony Gallery continues to highlight rising and prominent contemporary artists through its dynamic exhibition program. The addition of the Amsterdam space reflects the gallery’s continued support for broadening access across creative communities. Anthony Gallery remains actively committed to fostering inclusion and collaboration in the arts, supporting a range of artistic partnerships and creative initiatives at the local and global level.
