Chambers Fine Art
Chambers Fine Art is an art gallery based in New York City and Beijing that specializes in Chinese contemporary art. Opened in New York in 2000 by Christophe Mao, it was one of the first galleries in the United States to promote Chinese contemporary artists. Notable Chinese artists who had their first solo show in the United States at Chambers include: Lu Shengzhong, Shi Jinsong, Hong Hao, Qiu Zhijie, Hong Lei, and Chi Peng. In 2005, Chambers sponsored the first official Chinese Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale organized under the theme "Virgin Garden: Immersion."
In 2007 Chambers Fine Art opened a second 8,600-square-foot (800 m2) gallery-space designed by the artist, Ai Weiwei, in the Caochangdi district of Beijing. The inaugural exhibition Net: Reimagining Space, Time and Culture was organized by eminent Chinese art scholar, Wu Hung, and included works by Chinese contemporary artists Ai Weiwei, He Yunchang, Hong Hao, Hong Lei, Lu Shengzhong, Qiu Zhijie, Rong Rong & inri, Shi Jinsong, Song Dong, Wang Jianwei, Wang Tiande, Wu Jian’an, Yin Xiuzhen, Yu Hong, Zhan Wang, Zhang Peili, Zheng Guogu.
In October 2009, Chambers Fine Art moved its New York gallery to a 2,300-square-foot (210 m2) ground-floor space on 19th street in Chelsea's gallery district.
Chambers Fine Art is named after the distinguished British architect, Sir William Chambers who, in addition to his architectural practice, was a leading exponent of Chinese principles in garden design in the late eighteenth century. Inspired by the example of Chambers, Christophe W. Mao, founder and director of the gallery since 2000, has organized a stimulating series of exhibitions that have introduced the work of some of the best artists active in China today to an American audience.
