stephen friedman exits tribeca 1234763203

Stephen Friedman Gallery has announced it will close its New York location in Tribeca by the end of February 2026, less than 30 months after its high-profile opening. The gallery framed the decision as a "strategic evolution" intended to consolidate resources at its London headquarters while maintaining a presence at major international art fairs. Despite the closure, the gallery maintains that its artist roster remains unchanged and its influence in the U.S. will continue through institutional exhibitions.

christies jonathan burden decorative arts auction results 1234756132

Christie's online sale of decorative arts from the collection of Jonathan Burden, titled 'Crafted and Collected: The Jonathan Burden Sale,' achieved over $1.07 million with fees, more than doubling the low estimate of $487,500. The sale featured 151 lots, with only five unsold, a 97% sell-through rate. The top lot was a 10-foot-long French Incarnat Turquin marble dining table that sold for $101,600, far exceeding its $30,000 high estimate. The auction employed an innovative 'in-situ' viewing at Burden's studio in Long Island City, where potential bidders could meet the dealer, hear stories, and see pieces demonstrated. Many items sold for multiples of their estimates, including a Victorian metamorphic chair that brought $27,940 against a $3,000 high estimate.
