Overview
- The gallery said its current Richard Long exhibition will be its last, closing on December 13 ahead of the shutdown at year’s end.
- Sperone Westwater will still exhibit at Art Basel Miami Beach from December 5–7 as previously planned.
- Court filings from August in New York detail allegations that Westwater mishandled funds, withheld records, and mismanaged rent obligations.
- The suit cites a $10 million stockholder investment in the Norman Foster–designed Bowery building tied to a $1.8 million rent arrangement that Sperone says Westwater sought to alter.
- Ownership filings show Sandstown Trade Ltd. holds 50 percent alongside Westwater, with a 2024 director change to Filippo Pistone noted as a flashpoint in internal disputes.
