History

In 2003, Swedish artist Sophie Mörner started Capricious Magazine, devoted to the work of emerging photographers who were often also women and/or queer.^[1] The magazine soon expanded into a publishing initiative supporting feminist and queer journals.^[2] It also operated Capricious Space, a project space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which closed in 2011.^{[3] [4]}

In 2013, the space re-opened as Capricious 88 on the fifth floor of 88 Eldridge Street in Chinatown, sharing a building with Miguel Abreu Gallery and David Lewis Gallery.^[5] By 2015, the gallery rebranded as Company.^[6] In 2021, Company moved to a 4,000 square-foot, standalone space on Elizabeth Street nearby,^[7] designed by BoND.^[8]

The gallery was recipient of the 2019 Frieze New York Frame award.^[9]
