Sikkema Jenkins Co.

What Sikkema Jenkins Co. does

Sikkema Malloy Jenkins (formerly Sikkema Jenkins & Co.) is a privately held contemporary art gallery headquartered in New York City. It represents a roster of established and emerging contemporary artists across multiple mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and mixed media. The gallery's operations center on a program of rotating solo and curated group exhibitions presented in its single New York City gallery space; recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include presentations by Kara Walker, Vik Muniz, Jeffrey Gibson, Wardell Milan, Brenda Goodman, Louis Fratino, Maria Nepomuceno, and Raven Chacon, alongside thematic group shows such as 'Healing', 'A View', and 'THE (grand) GESTURE'.

The gallery's commercial model is direct sales of contemporary artworks through its physical gallery space under artist representation agreements, with pricing conducted on a quote-based, per-work basis that is not publicly disclosed. Marketing and demand generation are supported through the gallery's website (smjny.com), which features current and archived exhibitions, installation photography, press releases, and e-catalogues, supplemented by distribution of press releases to art publications. The customer base consists primarily of private and institutional art collectors, with a secondary segment of museums and cultural institutions acquiring works for public collections and exhibition programming.

No public financial disclosures, headcount figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are documented in the available source material. The gallery is independently owned with no identified parent company, institutional investors, or external capital partners. In 2024-2025 the firm rebranded from Sikkema Jenkins & Co. to Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, signaling a partner-level addition and an evolution of the gallery's brand identity. Distribution is concentrated in a single New York City location, with no documented secondary spaces, art-fair commitments, or international outposts.
