With an emphasis on discovering and cultivating new talent, the gallery presents imaginative thematic exhibitions and tightly focused solo exhibitions with work from both prominent figures on the international stage and emerging artists.

Leila Heller Gallery has the distinction of presenting the first viewings in New York City of work by contemporary artists who have developed important international reputations. The gallery also carries the work of major 20th century modern masters.

The gallery has placed work in major private collections and museums internationally. With a rigorous art fair schedule, Leila Heller Gallery participates in fairs in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Istanbul.

For over 25 years, the gallery's mission has been to inspire dialogue among collectors, curators, artists and critics.
