Founded by Jayne Baum in 1982, JHB Gallery has furthered the practices of a diverse group of emerging and established contemporary photographers and artists. Through a series of early, influential exhibitions, the gallery helped articulate a position for contemporary photography in the larger art world context. Historically representing work across mediums, the gallery pairs serious connoisseurship with the praxis of artists who conceptually explore their numerous disciplines developing both personal and broader ideological narratives. Representing a wide range of contemporary international artists, JHB Gallery continues to curate exhibitions at the gallery's West Village space, and across a variety of alternative platforms.
