Overview
- The gallery announced it will cease public operations next month, with the final public day reported as Nov. 22.
- Its last exhibition features Tokyo-based painter Shinpei Kusanagi, a longtime gallery artist.
- Founded in 2009, the gallery mounted 213 exhibitions and moved from 49 Geary to the Minnesota Street Project, later adding a Presidio Heights space.
- Altman Siegel built a program of concept-driven work by artists including Simon Denny, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Trevor Paglen, Zarouhie Abdalian, Koak, Didier William, and Kiyan Williams.
- Peers and local institutions voiced regret as the closure joins a year of retrenchment that includes Blum and LA Louver in Los Angeles, Clearing and Venus Over Manhattan in New York, and Almine Rech vacating its London space.
