Tanya Bonakdar to Close Los Angeles Gallery After Seven Years

The New York gallery frames the move as a lease-driven pause, pledging continued support for artists on the West Coast.

Overview

  • The Highland Avenue lease ends in September, and the space will close following the final Los Angeles exhibition.
  • Bek Hyunjin’s solo show is the last program in the Los Angeles gallery and runs through August 29.
  • The gallery opened the Los Angeles outpost in 2018 in response to artist interest in a West Coast presence.
  • The firm says it will keep presenting work from New York and internationally, with a Lisa Oppenheim show opening September 3 in New York.
  • The decision lands during a broader contraction in the gallery sector reported this summer, with recent closures or wind-downs at Blum, Clearing, and Kasmin; Artnet first reported the news.
