Lehmann Maupin's Chelsea gallery is relocating, taking over 536 West 22nd Street, currently home to the illustrious Sonnabend Gallery, which will close its exhibition space at year's end. Though Sonnabend owns the space, it will be leasing it to Lehmann Maupin and will no longer have an exhibition space of its own, though its operations will otherwise continue, associate director Queenie Wong told artnet News in a phone interview.
After nearly 30 years in SoHo (Ileana Sonnabend opened her eponymous gallery there in 1971 after nine years of business in Paris), the gallery moved into its current space in May of 2000.
