.New York dealer Per Skarstedt will definitely move right into a Chelsea room that formerly housed Cheim & Read, a picture that shuttered in 2014 after 26 years in service. Skarstedt will remain to manage his Upper East Side area on East 79th Road, depending on to Kenny Shachter, who to begin with disclosed the information in his Artnet column.
Skarstedt, whose lineup consists of performers like Eric Fischl, KAWS, David Salle, as well as Martin Kippenberger, has secured a $13.5 thousand offer to move in to the West 25th Road gallery area. The 6,000-square-foot structure, made by designer Richard Gluckman, was specified for $15 thousand in May.
The step is actually a huge change for Skarstedt, which are going to now be actually closer to a lot of its peers. Skarstedt likewise has a picture in Greater london.
His picture's growth happens as many others are actually leaving Chelsea. Over the last couple of years, many galleries have left for Tribeca, where a vast system of rooms is actually currently sited. That community currently organizes galleries like James Cohan, Andrew Kreps, as well as P.P.O.W., all of whom were Chelsea pillars just before transferring downtown.
The turn over has enabled some brand new candidates to open store locally. Kurimanzutto, David Kordansky, Nara Roesler, and also others have all opened up Chelsea pictures in the past five years, with Aura set to follow today.
A Skarstedt spokesperson did not reply to ARTnews's ask for review.
