\n\tDavid Zwirner has closed its Upper East Side gallery, ending nearly a decade at the townhouse at 34 East 69th Street as the blue-chip dealer continues to concentrate its New York operations downtown.<\/p>\n
\n\tA spokesperson for the gallery told ARTNews<\/em> that the move had been planned for a while. \u201cIt was always our plan to leave the Upper East Side once the last phase of our Chelsea overhaul was complete,\u201d the spokesperson said in an email. \u201cWith our Selldorf-designed space at 525 West 19th Street now reopened with our current exhibition,\u00a0In Solidarity<\/em>, that moment has arrived \u2014 and we\u2019re sad to leave the Upper East Side. We\u2019re looking forward to our fall exhibition program on 19th Street, 20th Street, and in Tribeca.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe gallery first opened the East 69th Street location in 2017, occupying the first three floors of the townhouse. Over the years, it hosted roughly three dozen exhibitions, including presentations by Yayoi Kusama, Dan Flavin, Bill Traylor, Sherrie Levine, Marcel Dzama, and more recently the group exhibition\u00a0Set in Stone<\/em>, organized with the Paris gallery Galerie Kugel, which closed on June 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe closure comes after the completion of David Zwirner\u2019s renovated Chelsea campus, anchored by Annabelle Selldorf\u2019s redesign of\u00a0525 West 19th Street. Which opened March last year. The gallery now operates a cluster of interconnected spaces on West 19th Street, another exhibition space on West 20th Street, and its Tribeca gallery at 52 Walker Street, in addition to locations in Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Hong Kong.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe departure is the latest change for the Upper East Side\u2019s gallery corridor. Neighboring mega-gallery Hauser & Wirth vacated its East 69th Street townhouse last year before selling the property, while Brazilian gallery Nara Roesler left the block in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tEven so, the neighborhood remains an\u00a0important destination for collectors, with dealers including Gagosian, White Cube, Skarstedt, L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan, Gladstone, Almine Rech, and Spr\u00fcth Magers maintaining Upper East Side locations. Add to that Sotheby\u2019s new home at the Breuer Building, and you have a thriving arts hub, with or without Zwirner.<\/p>\n \n\tThe news of the closure was first reported by Artnet News<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/market\/david-zwirner-closes-upper-east-side-gallery-1234792819\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Zwirner-19th-Street.jpg?w=1024″] David Zwirner has closed its Upper East Side gallery, ending nearly a decade at the townhouse at 34 East 69th Street as the blue-chip dealer continues to concentrate its New York operations downtown.
