David Castillo Gallery

The David Castillo Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery in Miami, Florida. The gallery was founded by art historian and dealer David Castillo in 2005 to show mid-career artists.
History.
David Castillo holds degrees in history and art history from Yale University and the Angelicum and has been an art dealer of secondary-market work on an ongoing basis since 2000, having worked on research and sales of European, American, and Latin American paintings. He worked for various museums in both registration and curatorial, specifically at the Yale University Art Gallery in the American Decorative Arts Department and later the Miami Art Museum in registration. He opened the David Castillo Gallery in 2005.
The gallery cultivates artists with a far-reaching national and international impact on cultural and critical spaces. These spaces include museums and other institutions, private collections, and, importantly, also discourses on art through art publications and media. David Castillo is an important platform for artists once excluded from the history of art and history more generally and who are now defining the aesthetics and critical ideas of our time. By successfully placing the work of its artists, David Castillo has advanced conversations on overlooked histories and has become an important space for inclusion and diversity of today’s great artists. The gallery’s artists are doing the work of reframing history: outlining their cross- disciplinary nature and their disobedience to be contained and fully understood. In multitudes of histories carried within, the artists’ works become diverse sites for reflection on the past and on the conditions of the present moment. 
In 2019, the gallery’s artists were included in solo and group exhibitions in US, international and university museums. These institutions include The Getty Los Angeles, ICA Boston, SFMOMA, KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin), MOCA LA, Guggenheim Museum (NY), The Phillips Collection (Washington, D.C.), The New Museum (NY), The American Academy in Rome, Grand Palais (Paris), MoMA (NY), Barnes Foundation (Philadelphia), The Norton (West Palm Beach), The Bass (Miami Beach); over 100 museum exhibitions in 2019 alone.
While the gallery’s artists continue to exhibit in many of the world’s great museums, they are also the focus of dozens of exhibitions each year in university museums; a cultural indicator that their work is being studied and exhibited not only as creators of great objects but also as important thinkers of contemporary society.
Represented artists at the gallery have been included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Liverpool, Socrates Sculpture Park, Sculpture Center, Museum of Modern Art, MCA Chicago, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Guggenheim, ICA Miami, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Harvard Art Museums, Studio Museum Harlem, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Havana Biennial, Kiev Biennial (Ukraine), and many museum exhibitions worldwide. Gallery artists' work can be found in many catalogues of contemporary art. The David Castillo Gallery has participated in art fairs in New York, Chicago, Berlin, Miami, and Basel, including Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show, and Frieze New York.
