History
The gallery was founded in 1992 by art dealer Per Skarstedt. Skarstedt's first acquisition, at the age of 23, was a work by Richard Prince.

Skarstedt moved to New York and opened his first Upper East Side gallery at 1018 Madison Avenue in 1992. In 2007, the gallery moved into 20 East 79th Street, the former gallery of Paul Rosenberg & Co., designed by Francis d'Haene. By 2014, it took over the 6000 sqft gallery space formerly occupied by Haunch of Venison at 550 West 21st Street in Chelsea and had it redesigned by Annabelle Selldorf. In 2019, Skarstedt opened a second space in New York's Upper East Side, located in a 25000 sqft space at 19 East 64th Street.

In 2012, Skarstedt expanded with a gallery in London at 8 Bennett Street, designed by Thomas Croft. A second, 1765 sqft space opened in 2016.

Skarstedt opened a 1500 sqft gallery in 2020 at 66 Newtown Lane in East Hampton. That same year, Skarstedt opened an 800 sqft pop-up in Palm Beach, exhibiting Richard Prince Nurses and new sculptures by KAWS.

The gallery also opened its first location in Paris in 2021, at 2 Avenue Matignon, designed by Jacques Grange.
