With a background in law, non-profit arts administration and collecting, Todd Hosfelt founded his gallery in 1996 in a 2,000 square foot space above the famed artist residency program, Capp Street Project, in San Francisco’s SOMA district. Former San Jose Museum of Art curator and current partner Dianne Dec joined the gallery in 1997. Over the years, the gallery developed a reputation for transforming industrial buildings in off-the-beaten-path locations into extraordinary exhibition spaces, starting with its relocation in 1999 to a South of Market former warehouse. In 2006, Hosfelt Gallery opened a second venue in New York City, a few blocks north of Chelsea in Hell’s Kitchen, converting a derelict storeroom above an auto-body shop into 7,500 square feet of exquisite gallery space suffused in natural light.
In 2012 the gallery consolidated its operations with a trailblazing move to its current location, establishing the nucleus of what is now San Francisco’s newest, most vibrant arts district, DoReMi. With 9,000 square feet of sky-lit space in a former door factory, the gallery’s integration of distinctive contemporary design with unaltered remnants of the building’s prior function mirrors its programmatic emphasis on innovative expression born out of a deep understanding of social, political and/or cultural history.
Over the course of more than 20 years, Hosfelt Gallery has distinguished itself through the introduction of exceptional new artists from around the world, the intellectual rigor of its programming, its role in nurturing the careers of now internationally-renowned artists, a commitment to showing work that doesn’t necessarily align with current trends, and representation of some of the most important artists of the Bay Area and beyond. In 2015 the gallery founded the first Digital Media Conservation Lab to address the growing need for the preservation of digital and electronic art. Hosfelt Gallery is a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.
