Luhring Augustine Gallery

Its principal focus is the representation of an international group of contemporary artists whose diverse practices include painting, drawing, sculpture, video and photography.

[citation needed] The exhibition program is best characterized by its adherence to a rigorous curatorial model that has incorporated critical monographic exhibitions such as Marcel Duchamp (1987),[9][10] Gerhard Richter (1995)[11] and Donald Judd (1999), which have served as historical antecedents for the contemporary program of the gallery.

[25] Paul McCarthy's 1996 installation at the gallery, Yaa-Hoo, featured mechanized mannequins performing sexual acts.

[26] The gallery's inaugural exhibition in their Bushwick, Brooklyn location was a solo installation by Charles Atlas titled The Illusion of Democracy, [27] which featured two large-scale video projections, Plato’s Alley (2009) and Painting By Numbers (2008).

[28] The work was a departure from Atlas' more signature style of art making that involves collaborations with dancers and other artists.
