"Following the Vollmer show, scheduled to run from 30 September to 15 November, she said she plans to "reformulate" her role in the art world and transition to "a more private setting", whether it be private sales or research projects. "I am incredibly grateful for the support, friendship and enthusiasm of gallery artists, staff, collectors, museums and fellow dealers during these years," she said in a statement, adding she hopes to "continue to offer support to artists and to focus more on my family"."
"Prior to founding his gallery, Tilton worked for the pioneering dealer Betty Parsons, and after her death opened his space on West 57th Street before relocating the gallery to Soho and later to the Upper East Side, where it remains today. The gallery also opened a Los Angeles space in the late 1990s. Tilton was an early backer of young artists including Marlene Dumas, David Hammons and Kiki Smith, who went on to become art market powerhouses."
Tilton Gallery will close after the Ruth Vollmer exhibition, scheduled 30 September–15 November. Connie Rogers Tilton will reformulate her role, moving toward private sales or research and focusing more on family. The gallery has represented Vollmer's estate since 1983, and the show will be the most comprehensive gallery presentation of her work since the 1980s. Jack Tilton founded the gallery in 1983 and died in 2017; he previously worked for dealer Betty Parsons, relocated the gallery to Soho and the Upper East Side, and later opened a Los Angeles space. Tilton backed early-career artists such as Marlene Dumas, David Hammons and Kiki Smith.
