Greene Contemporary News
Posted 09.05.2009
Greene Contemporary would like to extend its deepest appreciation to all of the wonderful people who have supported us since we first opened in Florida in 2005. As of August 2009, Greene Contemporary is closed. The past year at the new space at 9 Clinton Street on the Lower East Side was a great one, but one which was commensurate with the rest of the art world. The gallery has always been a labor of love, but in the end, the financial implications of trying to stay open were not worth the further risk in this market.
Although the physical space is closed, Greene Contemporary is in the process of adjusting the framework of the gallery to continue the entity in a different form. With an eye towards artist management, art advising, curation and consulting, Greene Contemporary will release a new business model soon. The website will remain the same and will continue to follow the artists we have represented as they move into new endeavors with Greene Contemporary, as well as with other galleries.
Our first collaboration is already in place as Greene Contemporary artists, Nathan Skiles and Heather Sherman, will have simultaneous solo ehxibitions at
Sloan Fine Art, opening Wednesday, January 27 and continuing through February 20, 2010.
Greene Contemporary can not adequately express what the relationships we have built have meant to the gallery over the years. Through four years, nine art fairs and countless collective efforts for the arts, we have always remained humble and appreciative of where we were at. We hope to take all the friendships we have made with artists, collectors, galleries, curators and art fairs into the next phase with us.
During this transitional time, we ask that all inquiries and contacts be made via email.
