The long-running Mnuchin Gallery is set to close at the end of February following the death of its owner, Robert Mnuchin, last year.

“For more than three decades, Mnuchin Gallery had the privilege of presenting exhibitions that fostered rare and sustained dialogue among scholars and audiences around some of the most significant art of our time,” the gallery's statement said.

“In the wake of Robert Mnuchin’s passing on December 20, 2025, it is with gratitude and reflection that we announce the conclusion of the gallery’s program, an outcome that feels true to the fact that the gallery was, above all else, an expression of Robert’s passion and singular vision.” it added.

The gallery is a five-story townhouse located at 45 East 78th Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It highlights modern artworks, abstract expressionism, and minimalist figures.

ARTnews magazine reported that the gallery’s final show features a series of plate paintings by Julian Schnabel, set to close on Saturday.

Notable artists include Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. The gallery later expanded to feature many women artists and artists of color, including Lynne Drexler, Joan Mitchell, Lynda Benglis, Mary Lovelace O’Neal, and others.
