Mitchell-Innes & Nash

About the Gallery
Founded in 1996 by Lucy Mitchell-Innes and David Nash, who previously headed the worldwide Contemporary and Impressionist & Modern Art divisions of Sotheby’s, Mitchell-Innes & Nash places exemplary contemporary artists within a historical context revealing a continuity of ideas and aesthetic distinction from the Modern era through the present day. Lucy Mitchell-Innes has served as a member of the selection committee of Art Basel Switzerland and is a former president of the Art Dealers Association of America.

Mitchell-Innes & Nash’s renowned exhibition program fosters excellence within artistic practice while forging an informed dialogue between emerging and established internationally recognized artists. From acclaimed surveys of 20th century masters such as Jean Arp, Anthony Caro, Willem de Kooning, Leon Kossoff, Kenneth Noland, Roy Lichtenstein, and Nicolas de Stael, to solo exhibitions of Sarah Braman, Keltie Ferris, Daniel Lefcourt, Eddie Martinez, Pope.L, Martha Rosler, and Jessica Stockholder, Mitchell-Innes & Nash has proven expertise in both advancing the careers of emerging artists and maintaining the superior standard set by established artists.

In July 2024, Mitchell-Innes & Nash announced that, after nearly 30 years of supporting and working with our artists from the Chelsea gallery, the gallery will transition from our gallery in Chelsea to a project-based advisory space. Moving forward, we will be working within a new paradigm, consulting with select primary market artists and estates, providing art advisory services to individual collectors and foundations, and representing artworks on the primary and secondary markets.

Our Chelsea office and viewing room are open for appointments with collectors, curators, and institutions, and we continue to serve as trusted advisors and consultants to artists, estates, and collectors. As always, David and Lucy remain actively engaged in the secondary market for 20th and 21st century art.

In October 2024, we participated in The Salon by NADA in Paris alongside 52 Walker, presenting a joint exhibition of works by Pope.L. In May 2025, we showcased a solo exhibition of Pope.L’s work at the Independent Art Fair in New York City.

About the Presentation
Mitchell-Innes & Nash will present work by General Idea in a solo presentation at Independent 20th Century. This survey of work by the Canadian artist collective General Idea (active 1969–1994, AA Bronson, Jorge Zontal, and Felix Partz) is centered on the group's identity as three, a preoccupation that runs as an undercurrent throughout their entire practice. Probing desire, the mythology of the artist, and the structures of mass culture, the presentation spans the breadth of General Idea's output, from early Ziggurat paintings to the recurring poodle motif to the iconic AIDS works that defined their later practice. At a moment when questions of queer identity, chosen family, and nationhood feel urgently present, General Idea's work resonates with renewed force: at once a critique of cultural and commercial systems and a defiant act of community, survival, and solidarity.
