Hugo Galerie

HistoryIn a non-descript office park in Santa Monica, California, two unconventional art dealers from Los Angeles and Tokyo opened a small gallery that would go on to nurture more museum-caliber artists than any other partnership of its kind on the West Coast. In September 2003, Blum & Poe pioneered what has now become recognized as the Culver City Art District by being the first gallery to move into what was once a desolate area of abandoned buildings. Last Autumn Timothy Blum and Jeff Poe celebrated fifteen years of altering the international art landscape with the opening of their newest venue, a 21,000 square foot complex, renovated by Los Angeles based architects Frank Escher and Ravi GuneWardena.SpecialtiesArtists Represented by Blum & Poe Chiho Aoshima Jennifer Bornstein Slater Bradley Nigel Cooke Carroll Dunham Sam Durant Anya Gallaccio Mark Grotjahn Tim Hawkinson Julian Hoeber Matt Johnson Friedrich Kunath Sharon Lockhart Florian Maier-Aichen Victor Man Dave Muller Takashi Murakami Yoshitomo Nara Hirsch Perlman Dirk Skreber Keith Tyson Lee Ufan Chris Vasell
