Lomex was founded by Alexander Shulan in 2015 in Eva Hesse's former Bowery studio -- a piece of art-historical real estate so charged that the location itself functioned as a mission statement. The gallery's emphasis on "New New York art" positions it as a chronicler of the city's ongoing creative reinvention, a role that requires both curatorial conviction and a genuine connection to the communities producing the work. The move from the Bowery to Tribeca in 2021, followed by a second Walker Street space in 2023, signals a gallery in expansion mode without losing its editorial identity. Shulan has maintained the program's downtown sensibility -- scrappy, intellectually ambitious, resistant to easy categorization -- while gaining the physical infrastructure to present more ambitious exhibitions. Two Tribeca spaces is a statement of intent. What distinguishes Lomex from other young New York galleries is its self-conscious engagement with the city's art-historical lineage. The Eva Hesse connection was not accidental; it was a declaration that the gallery sees itself as part of a continuum of downtown New York art-making that includes minimalism, post-minimalism, and the successive waves of creative energy that have defined the city's art scene. For collectors, this translates to artists who think historically even as they work in the present.

A gallery deeply embedded in New York's downtown art lineage, from the Eva Hesse studio origins to the current Tribeca presence. Shulan's "New New York art" framing is ambitious but substantiated by the program. The double-space expansion signals confidence and institutional backing. Respected by curators who follow the city's emerging scene closely; not yet a market darling, which makes it interesting.
