.New York dealer Per Skarstedt will certainly move in to a Chelsea area that in the past housed Cheim & Read, a picture that shuttered in 2015 after 26 years in business. Skarstedt will definitely remain to manage his Upper East Edge area on East 79th Road, according to Kenny Shachter, that initially mentioned the updates in his Artnet column.
Skarstedt, whose roster features artists like Eric Fischl, KAWS, David Salle, as well as Martin Kippenberger, has actually gotten a $13.5 million offer to relocate in to the West 25th Road picture place. The 6,000-square-foot building, developed through engineer Richard Gluckman, was actually noted for $15 million in May.
The move is a large improvement for Skarstedt, which will right now be closer to a number of its peers. Skarstedt likewise possesses a picture in Greater london.
