BLUM is a gallery that represents more than sixty artists and estates from sixteen countries, supporting artists at various stages of practice with a diverse range of perspectives. It began life as Blum & Poe in Santa Monica in 1994 and has helped situate Los Angeles as an international arts hub. The organization operates across spaces in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and New York, reflecting its global scope. BLUM has played a significant role in championing Japanese and Korean postwar and contemporary movements, including Dansaekhwa, Mono-ha, and Superflat. Its program extends beyond exhibitions to lectures, performances, screenings, video series, and an annual art book fair in Los Angeles, complemented by BLUM Books, the publishing division that produces scholarly monographs and artists’ books. The gallery frequently collaborates with curators and scholars to present large-scale projects and historical surveys.
