David Zwirner, with offices in New York, London, and Hong Kong, has presented the work of more than 60 top artists of all genres and periods, including Frances Alice, Dan Frevin, Donald Judd, Gerhard Richter, Yayoi Kusama, On Kawahara, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Thomas Ruff. The gallery is one of the mega-galleries dealing with contemporary art founded in 1993, and has introduced the activities of more than 60 top artists from different genres and eras, including Richter, Kusama, Yayoi Kusama, On Kawahara, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Thomas Ruff. The owner is one of the most influential art dealers in the U.S., the German art dealer David Zwirner, for whom the gallery is named; since 2014, the gallery has established a publishing department headed by David Zwirner's son, Lucas Zwirner. In addition to publishing exhibition catalogs, art historical studies, and artist books, the division also funds The Drift, a non-profit magazine that is considered one of the hottest magazines in New York City today. In addition, 12 small and medium-sized New York-based galleries have established "Platform: New York" to exhibit and sell one artist (two works) from each gallery using David Zwirner's platform. This platform is for galleries that do not have such a platform, as the need for an online platform has increased since the pandemic.
