Jane Lombard Gallery is pleased to present 30x30, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Jane Lombard as a visionary dealer. This landmark exhibition will showcase a wide range of works, highlighting the innovative and boundary-pushing art that has defined Lombard’s focus over the past three decades. The exhibition will be on view from September 5th through October 25th, 2025, with an opening reception on September 5th, from 6-8 PM.
30x30 features both large-scale installations and intimate works, exploring themes that range from humor in the face of political turmoil, to the role of architecture in the artistic process, to the body and self as a recurring motif in contemporary art. The title of the exhibition alludes to time, but also to a measurement – something we often speak of in art: dimensions. “Thirty by thirty” connotes a ratio, much like how some of the artists in the show create work that is spatial, durational, and experiential – such as Allan Wexler’s investigations of built environments, or Carlos Garaicoa’s urban narratives. Others, like Lee Mingwei’s Stone Journey, stretch across time, unfolding slowly and contemplatively in rhythm with natural cycles.
Bringing together works made across continents and decades, 30x30 underscores Jane Lombard’s commitment to cross-cultural dialogue and to fostering long-term relationships with artists whose practices evolve with the world around them. This exhibition is not a retrospective, but rather a living archive, an active constellation of voices that speak to an ever-expanding ethos. 30x30 celebrates Lombard’s past defined by risk-taking and resilience, while looking ahead to a future of continued experimentation and artistic discovery. With this anniversary exhibition, Jane Lombard Gallery reaffirms its mission as a platform for global voices that shape the contemporary moment.
Featuring 30 artists – a mix of the gallery’s current roster and pivotal figures from Lombard's past– 30x30 will unveil a distinct array of new and historic paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and rare archival material. For 30 years, from Jane Lombard’s early days in Soho and Chelsea, to her current gallery location in Tribeca, Jane Lombard has been committed to championing visionary works that engage with political themes, while maintaining a sense of playful experimentation and formal innovation. This exhibition captures the spirit of a gallerist committed to artists who challenge, provoke, and reflect on the cultural, political, and social urgencies of our time.
