History

Zach Feuer Gallery was founded in 2000 as the LFL Gallery by Nick Lawrence, Russell LaMontagne and Zach Feuer. It was originally located on a fourth floor space on 26th Street. In 2002, the gallery moved to a first floor space on 24th Street, briefly sharing space with an art book gallery owned by one of the partners. In 2004, Zach Feuer purchased the gallery from his partners and changed the gallery name to "Zach Feuer Gallery". In 2010, the gallery moved to the Dia Art Foundation's old space on 22nd Street.

In 2015 Zach Feuer merged galleries with Joel Mesler (previously of Untitled Gallery) and relocated to two spaces on the Lower East Side on Manhattan.

Some of the artists exhibited by Zach Feuer Gallery include Phoebe Washburn, Nathalie Djurberg, Jon Rafman, Tamy Ben-Tor, and Dana Schutz. Zach Feuer Gallery has also presented historical exhibitions of Michel Auder and Corita Kent. During the summer, Zach Feuer Gallery presents thematic group exhibitions. Past shows include "Jew York" and "Context Message". In 2009, the gallery presented a blood drive in the gallery as a work of art by Kate Levant.

The gallery was severely damaged by flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy, with about 98% of the gallery's inventory destroyed. The Gallery promptly rebuilt, and reopened 2 months after the storm with a group exhibition.
