The 800m2 Parisian space was occupied by renowned gallerist Yvon Lambert for nearly 30 years, before being taken over by Victoire de Pourtalès and Hélène Nguyen-Ban with their VNH Gallery in 2015. VNH has come to its "Happy Ending" (as Nguyen-Ban put it in the FT), however, and are now shutting up shop.
As a consequence of Brexit, Paris is once more becoming a key scene for art dealers with a partial collector-base in continental Europe.
Amongst the artists represented by the gallery — exclusively big names — are Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Francis Alÿs, Carol Bove, Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama and Raymond Pettibon.
David Zwirner Paris will be co-directed by Victoire de Pourtalès and Justine Durrett, the latter having worked as Director of the New York gallery until now. More information available here.
