Big Galleries Are Racing to Sign Emerging Artists. It’s Changing Everything

Major blue-chip galleries like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, and White Cube are increasingly signing emerging artists earlier in their careers, bypassing the traditional trajectory where young artists would first develop with smaller galleries over many years. Examples include George Rouy joining Hauser & Wirth at age 30, Pam Evelyn joining Pace at 27, and Sasha Gordon joining David Zwirner in 2024. This shift comes amid a contracting art market where aggregate dealer sales fell 6% between 2023 and 2024, while smaller galleries with turnover under $250,000 saw sales grow 17%. Ultra-contemporary auction sales dropped 37.9% in the same period, signaling a cooling of speculative buying.

Swiss mega gallery tied to Laurene Powell Jobs to open in Palo Alto near her offices

Hauser & Wirth, the Swiss mega-gallery, will open its first Northern California location this spring in downtown Palo Alto, inside a former post office at 201–225 Hamilton Ave. The move is widely seen as a bid to be closer to Silicon Valley clients, particularly billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, whose Emerson Collective offices are two blocks away. Powell Jobs, rumored to be one of Hauser & Wirth's top clients, shifted her business from Pace Gallery to Hauser & Wirth in 2022. The renovation is led by Paris-based architect Luis Laplace, who is also designing Powell Jobs' renovation of the San Francisco Art Institute. The gallery will be the third Hauser & Wirth in California, joining two Los Angeles locations.

Two US ambassadors have displayed Van Goghs in their London residence—but Donald Trump's pick for the job seems unlikely to follow suit

Two former U.S. ambassadors to the UK, John Hay Whitney (1957-61) and Walter Annenberg (1969-74), displayed Van Gogh masterpieces from their personal collections in Winfield House, the official residence in London's Regent's Park. Whitney hung Van Gogh's *Self-portrait* (September 1889) above the mantelpiece in the family dining room, while the Annenbergs placed *La Berceuse* (February 1889) and *Olive Trees* (November 1889) in the green room, alongside works by Gauguin, Degas, Cézanne, Monet, and Renoir. Both ambassadors later donated their Van Goghs to major U.S. museums—Whitney's to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Annenbergs' to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
