Vito Schnabel is an art dealer, gallerist and curator of contemporary art based in New York, NY. Schnabel established Vito Schnabel Gallery (VMS) in 2003 and became known for his innovative gallery model where he eschews a permanent gallery space and matches artists with unique exhibition settings. Schnabel presented exhibitions in varied locations such as Galerie Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich Switzerland; a Long Island cornfield; a cloistered garden in Venice, Italy during the Venice Biennale; and an unused wing of a historic post office building on 32nd street Manhattan, now called The Future Moynihan Station.

Vito Schnabel works with artists who exhibit work both in the United States and internationally. The gallery produces various exhibitions, events, and catalogues throughout the year in addition to curating, consulting and art advising. As Managing Director, Imamura oversaw all aspects of the business’ operations, projects and finances.

In 2014, the company moved into a permanent gallery and office space in the West Village where Imamura designed and managed the renovation of an open-layout 2,000 sq ft retail space into a 1,000 sq ft boutique gallery and 4-room office.

Today, Vito Schnabel Gallery presents a full program of exhibitions in three permanent galleries while continuing to present exhibitions in unique spaces and collaborate with arts institutions.
