Art Movements: All's Fair in Art Fairs
Also: Three art-world heavyweights from Pace, Di Donna, and Sotheby’s are opening a new secondary sales gallery named … “PDS.”
Art Movements, published every Thursday afternoon, is a roundup of must-know news, appointments, awards, and other happenings in today’s chaotic art world.
Empire State of Mind
May we introduce to you "PDS" — no, that's not a medical abbreviation, but a new gallery. Pace, Emmanuel Di Donna of Di Donna Galleries, and David Schrader, executive vice president and chairman at Sotheby's, are teaming up to form Pace Di Donna Schrader Galleries (PDS). It'll focus on secondary sales, and operate out of Manhattan's Upper East Side starting early next year. I say we workshop the name.
Meanwhile, Stephen Friedman Gallery will close its New York location in Tribeca early next year, while the Munich-based gallery Lohaus Sominsky will open its new space in the same neighborhood next month. So it goes.
The New Faces of NYC Public Art
Ifeoma Ebo, Stephen Kwok, and Mauricio Higuera are the next Public Artists in Residence in New York City. Over the next year, they'll each work within specific agencies to produce a public artwork.
