Founded by Alexandre Bueno de Moraes and Andrew S. Klug, the 1500 Gallery “interprets the notion of Brazilian photography to comprise photography made by Brazilian photographers, as well as images bearing a conceptual or thematic relationship to Brazil.”
Located in New York City’s West Chelsea gallery district at 511 West 25th Street, #607, 1500 Gallery is the first art gallery in the world with an explicit focus in Brazilian artists and theme, and it represents the work of 17 artists, both emerging and established. Six of 1500’s photographers are represented in the Sao Paulo Museum of Art’s Collection of Photography.
