Denny Gallery has announced its permanent closure after 10 years in New York, making it the fourth downtown Manhattan gallery to shutter in the space of three months. The gallery also closed its space in Hong Kong earlier this year.
“Denny Gallery will close its doors on October 7th, 2023, after over a hundred exhibitions, three gallery spaces, two continents and ten years in business,” the gallery shared in an email and a statement on Instagram. “The gallery’s recent milestones presented an opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of the past decade and consider actively and openly what we would like to focus on for the next ten. After heartfelt consideration we feel that it requires a shift.”
The tastemaking gallery was founded in the Lower East Side in 2013 by Elizabeth Denny, before moving to Tribeca in 2019, and opening a Hong Kong branch that same year. The gallery has exhibited esteemed emerging and mid-career artists including Clarity Haynes, Pamela Council, and Wendy White, among others. In early 2023, gallery partner Robert Dimin left the gallery and opened his own downtown gallery, DIMIN, in March.
Denny’s current solo exhibition of Sheida Soleimani will be the gallery’s last show. Other downtown galleries to have shuttered in recent months include Queer Thoughts, Foxy Production, and JTT.
