Overview
- Kasmin gallery will shutter this autumn and transition into Olney Gleason helmed by longtime executives Nick Olney and Eric Gleason.
- The plan was devised with founder Paul Kasmin before his death and proceeds with full support from his estate.
- The new Chelsea space will launch with an inaugural show featuring about 25 artists and estates drawn from Kasmin’s roster.

- Olney Gleason aims to uphold Kasmin’s ethos by pairing contemporary artists with historical estates, including its recent representation of the Jackson Pollock estate.
