\n\tClaire Oliver Gallery<\/a> is expanding to include the upper floors of the four-story townhouse in New York\u2019s Harlem neighborhood. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe gallery will continue its street-level space and, as part of this expansion, the upper floors are now dedicated to showcasing artwork in a more intimate salon style.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur expansion of the gallery space marks a return to our roots as a salon style space, the anti-white box, where visitors can take their time for art to spark dialogue and community,\u201d owner Claire Oliver said in a statement. \u201cWhen we founded the gallery 33 years ago, this was always our goal, to be a welcoming place for collectors, artists and art enthusiasts of all sorts; we\u2019re thrilled to open the upper floors as a space for convening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move comes at a time when galleries such as Blum<\/a>, Venus Over Manhattan<\/a>, and Clearing<\/a> all recently shuttered and the art market continues to contract<\/a>, with some eschewing the traditional gallery<\/a> and fair models<\/a> for more fluid options<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhere others might see limitations in a traditional space, Oliver has long seen opportunity: \u201cWhen we purchased the townhouse in 2016, we envisioned a wide ranging exhibition and creative space across all floors, never a white cube.\u00a0Our gallery\u2019s program has always focused on works by artists pushing the boundaries of the historical canon,\u201d Oliver told ARTnews. Now, it seems, the space is following suit.<\/p>\n

\n\tOliver is among good company with Ben Hunter<\/a> and Sebastian Gladstone<\/a>, who both recently expanded their gallery spaces in London and Los Angeles, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tClaire Oliver Gallery will inaugurate the new space with a solo exhibition by BK Adams on the ground floor and a group show on the upper floors highlighting represented artists Barbara Earl Thomas, Carolyn Mazloomi, Gio Swaby, Jeffrey Henson Scales, Judith Schaechter, Sami Tsang, Sharon Kerry Harlan, and Stan Squirewell. The exhibitions will be on view starting September 5.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOne of the goals is to have a mix of media and works ranging from small scale ceramics and prints to paintings and large scale textiles, something for everyone. Our vision is for the upper floors to be more intimate spaces, so visitors, be they curators for the Met or a first time art collector, will be comfortable and welcomed,\u201d Oliver added.\u00a0\u201cOur mission has always been driven by art and artists and we hope to spark conversations and meaningful encounters that go beyond the surface, engage deeply and inspire dreams for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Claire Oliver Gallery is expanding to include the upper floors of the four-story townhouse in New York\u2019s Harlem…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,75220,229,88],"class_list":["post-115861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-claire-oliver-gallery","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
