Ki Smith is a native New Yorker and the owner/founder of Ki Smith Gallery. He began working in local art galleries at the age of 16. At 21, he co-founded Apostrophe NYC, which gained recognition for its innovative pop-up exhibitions at venues such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA PS1, and NYC subway stations. Smith founded Ki Smith Gallery in 2018 and opened the gallery's first physical location in 2019. Since then, Ki Smith Gallery has been featured at art fairs in New York and Miami. Smith is deeply dedicated to the arts and his contemporaries “drawing inspiration from dealers of the 1970s—like Richard Bellamy or Paula Cooper—who were often the same age or not much older than the artists they represented,” (Abby Schultz for Barron’s, 2019). Ki is passionate about promoting the arts in New York City and creating enduring relationships with artists.
