FAIR BOOTH
Skoto Gallery was established in 1992 with its inaugural exhibition curated by African-American jazz luminary Ornette Coleman. As one of the first galleries specializing in contemporary African Art in New York City, it has been instrumental in the progression of this rapidly growing field.
Bolstering its commitment to contemporary African Art, the gallery has also expanded, deepened, and diversified its involvement with contemporary issues by engaging a wide range of art and artists in its programming. Towards this end, the gallery has increasingly become a nexus of possibilities not only for contemporary African art but for mainstream artists of diverse ethnic or cultural persuasions. It has become a site where the adventurous viewer and collector can engage in an ongoing cultural dialogue. The gallery sees art in ecumenical terms and often organizes exhibitions to show the submerged relationships of a postmodern global culture after modernism.
