RACHEL UFFNER GALLERY

What RACHEL UFFNER GALLERY does

Rachel Uffner Gallery, currently operating as Uffner & Liu, is a privately held contemporary art gallery founded in 2008 and headquartered at 170 Suffolk Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The gallery represents a curated roster of contemporary artists working across diverse mediums — including Arghavan Khosravi (sculptural painting), Sheree Hovsepian (photography and mixed media), Bianca Beck (painted sculpture), Nasir Young, and Roger White (painting) — and presents rotating solo exhibitions in its main gallery alongside curated group shows in an upstairs gallery space programmed with guest curators such as Ajay Kurian.

The gallery operates as a primary-market intermediary between represented artists and buyers, earning commission on artwork sales typically priced between $5,000 and $60,000 at art fairs, and also sells artist publications and monographs (for example, Roger White's 'The Pedestrian' published with Inventory Press). Its go-to-market combines a single physical showroom, recurring participation in art fairs such as Independent at Pier 36 (where the gallery has favored solo presentations), a multi-channel digital presence (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, LinkedIn, email newsletter), and earned media coverage in outlets including MoMA Magazine, Artsy, Galerie Magazine, Colossal, Art Spiel, PLUS Magazine, and Decor Maine.

The customer base is segmented across high-net-worth private collectors and museums/institutions seeking contemporary acquisitions, with no named institutional buyer relationships disclosed. The gallery employs between 1 and 10 staff, has no disclosed outside funding or institutional investors, and reports no patents, proprietary technology platforms, or AI/ML capabilities — operating entirely as a traditional curatorial and sales business built on artist relationships and physical exhibition programming.
