Marc Straus Gallery announced Tuesday that Graham Wilson, the founder of Tribeca’s Swivel Gallery, has joined the gallery as a partner and senior director.
As part of the move, Swivel will close its Tribeca space and its artists will move over to Straus, which has locations in Tribeca and the Lower East Side. The latter, located at 299 Grand Street, will host a group exhibition curated by Wilson and showcasing Swivel’s artists, set to open March 19.
“The art world is evolving quickly, with rising costs and a growing need for collaboration reshaping gallery operations in New York City,” the gallery said in a press statement. “With our four-story Lower East Side gallery, our Tribeca space, and a talented team, joining forces with Graham allows us to merge our programs, strengthen our support for artists, and create more opportunities for creative growth.”
