"The international dealer Almine Rech has announced she is opening a first-floor space in Mayfair as she transitions "to a more private way of working" in the UK capital. The new venue, near Sotheby's on George Street, is around a quarter of the size of her former London gallery, which she closed in August after putting the UK business into voluntary liquidation."
"The dealer declined to comment specifically on the downsize, saying the move "continues the gallery's ten-plus years in the British capital". The new venue is due to open next month by appointment "and will showcase curated presentations of works by artists from the 20th and 21st centuries", according to a statement. The gallery will continue to represent and exhibit contemporary artists, Rech adds."
Almine Rech will open a first-floor, appointment-only space in Mayfair near Sotheby's on George Street. The new venue is about a quarter of the size of the former London gallery and will showcase curated presentations of 20th- and 21st-century artists while continuing to represent contemporary artists. The London gallery closed in August and the UK business was placed into voluntary liquidation. A new company, Almine Rech Advisory, was registered on 30 September, with Almine Rechner of Monaco as person with significant control and Maximilian Lefort as a director. Companies House filings show a £6.3m deficit, mainly tied to intercompany and shareholder loans, and the gallery reported no unpaid obligations to artists, employees, or suppliers.
