Robert Mnuchin

Founder of Mnuchin Gallery

For two decades, Robert Mnuchin has organized critically acclaimed shows that examine key moments within an artist’s oeuvre, often shedding light on under-investigated bodies of work by the leading figures in twentieth-century art. In addition to mounting exhibitions and publishing scholarly catalogues, he advises some of the country’s most prominent private collections. He is an expert in works by Alexander Calder, Donald Judd, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol, among others.

Before beginning an art dealer, Robert Mnuchin honed his connoisseurship as a collector during his thirty years at Goldman Sachs, where he was the partner in charge of equity trading and a member of the management committee. Upon retiring from the financial sector, he opened his gallery in the historic five-story townhouse on New York’s Upper East Side where it remains today. Following successful partnerships with James Corcoran (C&M Arts) and Dominique Lévy (L&M Arts), Mnuchin renamed the gallery Mnuchin Gallery in January 2013.
