P·P·O·W was founded by Wendy Olsoff and Penny Pilkington in the first wave of the East-Village art scene in New York City in 1983. In 1988, the gallery moved to SoHo and, in 2002, moved to Chelsea. P·P·O·W maintains a diverse roster of national and international artists.
Since its inception, the gallery has remained true to its early vision, showing Contemporary work in all media. There is a commitment to representational painting and sculpture and artists who create work with social and political content.
