Two Dealers, One Chinatown Address, and Fresh Names on Gallery Rosters

Tanja Grunert and Fierman plan to operate under a single roof in Chinatown, pooling their programs in a neighborhood where storefront galleries sit shoulder to shoulder and a collector can walk a dozen rooms in an afternoon. For anyone who tracks where the next generation of dealers sets up shop, a shared door between two established names is the kind of arrangement worth noting. The same round of announcements brought roster news as well: painter Emily Sundblad has taken on Bortolami as her gallery, and Shigeo Otake has been added to the artists shown by White Cube. Each of these is a quiet signal rather than a spectacle, the sort of move that tends to surface months later in what hangs on a booth wall or a townhouse stair. Readers who follow these artists will want to watch the galleries' calendars for the first exhibitions under the new arrangements.
