Jeffrey Deitch (pronounced DIE-tch;[1] born July 9, 1952) is an American art dealer and curator. He is best known for his gallery Deitch Projects (1996–2010) and curating groundbreaking exhibitions such as Lives (1975) and Post Human (1992), the latter of which has been credited with introducing the concept of "posthumanism" to popular culture.[2][3] In 2010, ArtReview named him as the twelfth most influential person in the international art world.[4]

Deitch has been closely associated with artists such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Jeff Koons. From 2010 to 2013, he served as director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA).[5] He currently owns and directs Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, an art gallery with locations in New York and Los Angeles.[6]
