"Of the split between the two spaces in No.9, Icoz explains that "the permanent viewing space [upstairs] will mirror shows at institutions, our other galleries and beyond". It opened this week with a show of Billy Childish, who currently has an exhibition in the gallery's West 24th Street in New York. Future exhibitions here will include the photographer Catherine Opie, to coincide with her exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery,"
"For the downstairs gallery, Lehmann Maupin has effectively taken a block booking at No. 9 Cork Street and has three shows in the planning for this year, coinciding with London's seasonal peaks. Their opening show on February 26 is of the British painter Freya Douglas-Morris, a new artist to the gallery's roster (Douglas-Morris is co-represented in New York by Lehmann Maupin and Alexander Berggruen). There will be around a dozen of Douglas-Morris's vivid, layered imagined landscapes, priced between about £40,000 and £60,000."
Lehmann Maupin has taken a permanent first-floor space at No. 9 Cork Street and committed to three-to-four exhibitions yearly in the Mayfair building's ground-floor gallery. The upstairs permanent viewing space will mirror institutional shows and other gallery programs, opening with Billy Childish and slated to include Catherine Opie to coincide with her National Portrait Gallery exhibition. The gallery plans to grow its secondary-market business from this base. The downstairs gallery is booked for three seasonal shows this year, opening February 26 with British painter Freya Douglas-Morris, showing about a dozen vivid, layered imagined landscapes priced at roughly £40,000–£60,000.
