GALLERY TO CLOSE ON LEONARD STREET
ARTnews reports that Timothy Taylor, the gallery at 74 Leonard, will close its New York outpost — it’s based in London — on April 18, with the closing of the current show. They opened here in 2023. “In light of current market conditions, the gallery has made the decision to close its New York space and consolidate its operations while continuing our relationships with artists and maintaining our gallery space in London,” Timothy Taylor, the gallery’s founder, said in an emailed statement to ARTnews. “However, the realities of the present climate, combined with the considerable costs of operating a second permanent space, make this a prudent and responsible step.”
