Arcature Fine Art / Ross + Co Gallery has opened two adjoining gallery spaces at 256 Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida, marking the gallery's first major expansion after more than 25 years on the street. The second-floor space, called Suite 214, has been designed as an intimate setting for private viewings of secondary-market works. The gallery is especially known for its modern and contemporary holdings, offering works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo, KAWS, Keith Haring, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol, among others. The ground-floor space, named Suite T, will function as a dedicated exhibition venue, hosting a rotating program of solo shows, group presentations, and special projects spanning historical, post-war, and contemporary art.
“We wanted to create spaces that reflect both the foundation of our business and where we see it going,” said Ryan Ross, owner of Arcature Fine Art / Ross & Co. “The two galleries let us build on that foundation in different ways, through exceptional works on the secondary market and an evolving exhibition program that brings together artists and ideas across generations.” The gallery said the expansion responds to a broader shift toward locally driven collecting, pointing to research in the Art Basel Art Market Report on the growing importance of domestic collectors.
Operating under the names Arcature Fine Art and Ross + Co, the gallery has long maintained a dual concentration spanning the primary market for contemporary work and the secondary market for mid-century blue-chip material, representing and dealing in a roster that includes Banksy, John Chamberlain, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell, and Tom Wesselmann, alongside the artists featured in its new Suite 214 program.
That dual identity—part showroom for historical and contemporary blue-chip works, part platform for new exhibitions and discovery—is reflected in the design of the two new Worth Avenue spaces, which are intended to operate in tandem.
Previously located at nearby 238 Worth Avenue, the gallery had recently presented exhibitions including Nick Moss's “American Flag Series” this past March and “Jules Olitski: The Mitt Paintings 1990–1993” in January and February. The gallery also runs a Miami Beach space where it presented Matt DiGiacomo's “SMS” this past May.
