Altman Siegel, stalwart of San Francisco’s gallery scene for 16 years, will close

Altman Siegel, a prominent San Francisco gallery, will close on 22 November after 16 years in business. Founder Claudia Altman-Siegel announced the decision on 15 October, citing the difficulty for a gallery of its size to scale in the current climate. The gallery, which opened in 2009 at 49 Geary, expanded to a 5,000-square-foot space in the Minnesota Street Project complex and an outpost in Presidio Heights. Over its history, it staged 213 exhibitions and art fairs, representing artists such as Lynn Hershman Leeson, Trevor Paglen, Richard Mosse, Simon Denny, and Kiyan Williams. Its final exhibition will be an eighth solo show with Japanese painter Shinpei Kusanagi.
