ABOUT D'AMELIO TERRAS

New York native Christopher D'Amelio and Paris-born Lucien Terras founded D'Amelio Terras in November 1996, which coincided with the emergence of Chelsea as the largest contemporary art district in the world. One of the first commercial galleries in the neighborhood, D'Amelio Terras is located on the ground floor at 525 W. 22nd St, steps from the Dia Center for the Arts.

Christopher D'Amelio began his career at the PaceWildenstein Gallery and Lucien Terras, prior to his arrival in New York, worked in Paris at the Fondation Cartier pour L'Art Contemporain and Galerie Yvon Lambert. The two worked together as directors of Paula Cooper Gallery from 1992 to 1996.

Currently D'Amelio Terras represents established artists with international reputations, including Polly Apfelbaum, Delia Brown, Tony Feher, Glenn Ligon, Cornelia Parker, Karin Sander and Yoshihiro Suda. In addition to fostering their careers and those of younger, emerging artists, the gallery has maintained a nontraditional program throughout its seven-year history, borrowing artworks from museums to display in historical exhibitions centered on specific themes and even inviting smaller galleries to showcase their programs in the D'Amelio Terras space. Noctambule continues this nontraditional attitude: the exhibition is organized in New York for a Parisian space not normally associated with contemporary art and will present artists not affiliated with the gallery. With Noctambule, D'Amelio Terras brings the vibrancy of this specific New York moment to Paris' European audience.
