David Castillo Gallery opened in 2005 under sole ownership after transforming a dilapidated warehouse in Miami, Florida into a 5,000 square foot gallery. The gallery exhibits emerging and mid-career artists, both local and international. David Castillo Gallery’s focus is on conceptual curatorial models as they relate to art historical, cultural, and personal investigations of identity. The gallery works with artists committed to the integrity of their individual histories and studio practices as agents of contemporary climate.
The gallery exhibits important art historical material in the context of its program. Among the artists exhibited are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, John Chamberlain, Jean Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Wifredo Lam, Willem de Kooning, Morris Louis, Claes Oldenburg, Pablo Picasso, Sigmar Polke, Jesus Rafael Soto, Frank Stella, Rufino Tamayo, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and many others.
