Notable exhibitions

's work ''Gnaw: Lard'' or ''Gnaw: Chocolate'', the artist gnawing on lard and chocolate and turning them into lipsticks and chocolate boxes, was first exhibited at the gallery in 1992. Paul McCarthy's 1996 installation at the gallery, ''Yaa-Hoo'', featured mechanized mannequins performing sexual acts. The gallery's inaugural exhibition in their Bushwick, Brooklyn location was a solo installation by Charles Atlas titled ''The Illusion of Democracy,'' which featured two large-scale video projections, ''Plato’s Alley'' (2009) and ''Painting By Numbers'' (2008). Each installation displayed massive light projections of vertical lines, grids, and numerical values. The work was a departure from Atlas' more signature style of art making that involves collaborations with dancers and other artists. He reflected, "I tried to imagine I was an unknown artist with a different sensibility." In addition to exhibiting the work of modern and contemporary artists, Luhring Augustine has, in collaboration with Sam Fogg Galler, hosted two historical exhibitions of
