About the Business
Welcome to Claire Oliver Gallery, a distinguished art gallery located at 2288 Adam Clayton Powell Junior Boulevard in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, New York. We are proud to present thought-provoking exhibitions that challenge perceptions and inspire meaningful conversations.
Currently showcasing "Carolyn Mazloomi: Whole Cloth, Narratives in Black and White," we invite you to explore the powerful works of an artist renowned for pioneering the use of quilting as a medium for social justice. Mazloomi's compelling pieces address urgent societal issues, including police reform, public school equality, literacy in Black neighborhoods, gun violence awareness, and voting rights inequality. Her art speaks volumes and invites viewers to engage with challenging topics through a unique and impactful medium.
In addition, experience the debut show of BK Adams, "Five Miles," where the artist delves into the nuances of personal representation and the hidden secrets that surround us. Adams employs a diverse array of materials, including stoneware, glaze, color slip, poly china silk, metal rod, grout, and red nylon cord, to create captivating works that resonate with audiences.
Join us as three talented artists reflect on the journey of coming-of-age in our Harlem exhibition, a celebration of growth, identity, and community. At Claire Oliver Gallery, we are committed to showcasing art that not only captivates but also challenges and inspires a deeper understanding of the world around us. Come visit us and be part of a vibrant dialogue through art.

Reviews
"First visit to Claire Oliver Gallery, one of the stops of the Harlem Art Stroll. Amazing photo exhibition by Jeffrey Henson Scales who at 14 yo photographed engaging images of the Black Panthers. The space is great, spacious, well illuminated with very high ceilings."
"My visits to Claire Oliver Gallery have always been beyond my expectations. Every exhibit is thought provoking as well as beautiful. I'm anxiously looking forward to the upcoming shows."
"I was greeted by a rude woman who said she owned the gallery. I inquired about bringing my daughter & some friends for a viewing for her 13th birthday. I was told NO even if 2 or 3 kids come in at a time and the rest wait outside. I felt discriminated and mistreated by this woman. She does not belong in Harlem. Do not support this gallery they are not interested in the community and its children. Exposure is everything!!! Why have this in Harlem and our children are not welcomed. I did not expect to be treated this way in Harlem."
"It’s really tough to give a gallery a lousy review as I am an avid gallery hopper and love that it’s an amazing forum for artists to represent and sell their work. On the plus side, this gallery has a really wonderful selection of art. You can tell someone has a great eye. The downside, it is not friendly. I know that there are covid procedures but every gallery I’ve visited since galleries reopened has found a way to do so safely and with reasonable friendliness (Pace, Kasmin, Zwirner, Shainman...). Everything in this gallery requires a QR code and it’s not laid out for intuitive access. No number displayed, no artist name displayed, no physical access to information on the pieces, someone watched us from the door for awhile before reluctantly inviting us in (no appointments were available). Listen, you chose to open in Harlem, this is a friendly neighborhood where people know each other and chat. Also, it’s weird to ask a neighbor where you are visiting from."
"I LOVE this Gallery! Claire Oliver has the best eye when it comes to artists. All (but I have my favs) are the most talented, They are from all over the globe and have that hint of Dark Edge that I love. Can't wait until her next opening! Peter"
