Skarstedt plays to the gallery in St James's

摘要

New York art gallery Skarstedt is expanding to a new London location in Stjames's. Skarstedt will take over the 6,500 sq ft former Portland Gallery at 8 Bennet Street opposite the Ritz Hotel. It opened a gallery in London in 2012 at 23 Old Bond Street but has now outgrown the space. It is believed to be paying a rent of close to £90/sq ft - in line with prime rents in the St James's area. The gallery was founded in 1994 by Per Skarstedt to mount historical exhibitions by contemporary European and American artists.
