Since its founding, Luhring Augustine Gallery has also specialized in the resale of select works of art from the 20th century by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

Janine Antoni'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.James Phelan, Peter J. Rabinowitz, A Companion to Narrative Theory, Blackwell Publishing, 2005, p367. {{ISBN|1-4051-1476-2}} Paul McCarthy's 1996 installation at the gallery, Yaa-Hoo, featured mechanized mannequins performing sexual acts.Johanna Drucker, Sweet Dreams: Contemporary Art and Complicity, University of Chicago Press, 2005, p107. {{ISBN|0-226-16504-3}}

The gallery's inaugural exhibition in their Bushwick, Brooklyn location was a solo installation by Charles Atlas titled The Illusion of Democracy, {{Cite web |last=Short |first=Aaron |date=2012-02-21 |title=Bushwick hits the big time!

Each installation displayed massive light projections of vertical lines, grids, and numerical values.{{Cite web |last=Walsh |first=Brienne |date=2012-02-29 |title=Uptown to Bushwick, It's Charles Atlas's Globe |url=https://www.artnews.com/art-in-america/features/charles-atlas-whitney-biennial-luhring-augustine-bushwick-58742/ |access-date=2023-05-03 |website=ARTnews.com |language=en-US}} 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 Medieval Art: Of Earth and Heaven (2018) and Gothic Spirit (2020).{{Cite news|last1=Smith|first1=Roberta|last2=Heinrich|first2=Will|last3=Schwendener|first3=Martha|date=2018-02-21|title=What to See in New York Art Galleries This Week|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/arts/design/what-to-see-in-new-york-art-galleries-this-week.html|access-date=2021-08-06|issn=0362-4331}}{{Cite web|last=Yung|first=Susan|date=2020-03-03|title=Gothic Spirit: Medieval Art from Europe|url=https://brooklynrail.org/2020/03/artseen/Gothic-Spirit-Medieval-Art-from-Europe|access-date=2021-08-06|website=The Brooklyn Rail|language=en-US}}
