Sperone Westwater, a 50-year-old New York gallery, closed at the end of 2025 amid a legal dispute between its two co-principals, Gian Enzo Sperone and Angela Westwater. Newly filed court documents reveal governance failures, financial disputes, and allegations of unpaid artists. The petition, filed in New York Supreme Court, seeks judicial dissolution of the corporation and appointment of a receiver, citing irreconcilable divisions and a breakdown in communication between the partners. Financial records show gallery revenue fell from $20 million in 2021 to $3.6 million in 2025, with losses in five of the past seven years.

aicon lawsuit art dealing new york brothers dutta

Two New York art galleries run by dueling brothers are locked in a legal battle over the use of the name "Aicon." Projjal Dutta, representing Aicon Contemporary, filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court in October against his brother Prajit Dutta and director Harry Hutchison, who run Aicon Art and ArtsIndia.com. The suit alleges that the defendants have misleadingly used the names "Aicon Gallery" or simply "Aicon" instead of the agreed-upon "Aicon Art," causing confusion in the art market. The brothers previously operated the legacy Aicon Gallery together for 20 years before parting ways in 2019, but they still share the same address and phone number at 35 Great Jones Street.

sperone westwater dealers lawsuit gallery closure

Three months before announcing the closure of Sperone Westwater after 50 years, co-founder Gian Enzo Sperone sued his partner Angela Westwater, alleging a "parasitic deadlock" and accusing her of wresting control of a corporation holding a 50 percent stake in the gallery. The lawsuit claims Westwater mishandled funds, withheld records, mismanaged rent payments, and increased her own salary without approval. The gallery, founded in 1975 as Sperone Westwater Fischer, has represented major artists including Bruce Nauman, Francesco Clemente, and Richard Long, and will close this December.

tefaf new york art fair trump tariffs impact

New tariffs imposed under the Trump administration are causing significant disruptions for art professionals shipping works to major New York art fairs, particularly TEFAF New York. Shipping companies report a 'torturous road' as galleries navigate complex import taxes—including 7.5% on Chinese artworks, 25% on steel and aluminum sculptures, and 10% on jewelry, furniture, and design pieces—while many original artworks, antiques over 100 years old, and collector's pieces remain exempt. Galleries are modifying operations by renting booth furniture, showing items already stored in the US, and avoiding shipments from China, with some classifying antiquities broadly as 'sculpture' to simplify customs clearance.

The article reviews two major New York exhibitions opening in 2026: the Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art, featuring over fifty artists, and "New Humans: Memories of the Future" at the newly expanded New Museum, with over a hundred artists. Both shows are described as enormous and defiant, responding to a distracted public and financial pressures. The reviewer notes that both exhibitions juxtapose large-scale immersive works with tiny, intimate pieces, and finds the Whitney Biennial lacking urgency, while preferring the New Museum's historical narrative about technology and modernity.

India’s art market sees major resurgence in 2025; M F Hussain’s work breaks record

India's art market experienced a major resurgence in 2025, driven by record auction sales for modernists like M.F. Husain, Tyeb Mehta, and V.S. Gaitonde. Husain's 'Gram Yatra' became the first Indian painting to sell for over USD 10 million, setting a new benchmark. The boom is fueled by India's strong economy, rising private wealth, digital platforms, and increased global recognition. The India Art Fair in Delhi and the launch of India Art Fair Contemporary in Mumbai highlighted strong sales, with galleries selling 90% of their stands on preview day. A reduction in India's goods and services tax on art from 12% to 5% further boosted the market, while independent reports estimate Indian art auctions reached Rs 2,456.7 crore, up over 20% from the previous year.
