Michael Werner Gallery has announced plans to open new spaces in Los Angeles and Athens this May. The new locations will join the gallery’s existing New York, London, and Berlin venues.
The Los Angeles gallery will be located at 415 North Camden Drive in Beverly Hills, designed by local firm Johnston Marklee and will feature a garden and courtyard by landscape architect Eric Nagelmann. Courtney Treut, formerly of Sean Kelly Gallery and Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles, as well as Anton Kern Gallery in New York, has been appointed as the gallery director.
The inaugural exhibition in Los Angeles will juxtapose the works of German painter Markus Lüpertz with those of 19th-century French artist Pierre Puvis des Chavannes. The courtyard’s programming, including poetry readings and performances, will be curated by Hannah Hoffman, a Los Angeles gallerist who collaborates with Michael Werner Gallery to represent two artists.
In Athens, the gallery will occupy a space at Leoforos Vasileos Georgiou 10, designed to be a semi-private venue hosting two exhibitions a year. The Athens location is set to open in the last week of May with a group exhibition featuring artists from the gallery’s roster.
