Ethan Cohen Gallery has represented both emerging and internationally renowned artists for over thirty years. Many of the emerging artists have now become household names. The gallery occupies a distinct place in contemporary art as a center of innovation across disciplines and countries. It serves artists and clientele through global art fairs, curatorial projects with top institutions, and as a center for seminal cultural events. Today Ethan Cohen Gallery has two gallery locations, one in Chelsea in the heart of New York City and the other in The Kube Art Center in Beacon, New York.

The Ethan Cohen gallery was first founded in 1987 as Art Waves/Ethan Cohen in SoHo, New York City. A groundbreaker in the field of contemporary Chinese art, Ethan Cohen was the first gallerist to present the Chinese Avant-Garde of the 1980s to the United States.

Ethan Cohen Gallery today represents a diverse global mix of contemporary and postwar contemporary art, with a continuing focus on emerging as well as established artists.

Ethan Cohen advises private, public, and corporate clients and is a certified appraiser with the Appraisers Association of America, specializing in contemporary Asian art and contemporary African art.
