Almine Rech reopens in London with downsized gallery

International dealer Almine Rech is reopening in London with a downsized first-floor space in Mayfair, near Sotheby's on George Street, after closing her former London gallery in August and putting the UK business into voluntary liquidation. The new venue, roughly a quarter of the size of the previous one, will operate by appointment starting next month, showcasing curated presentations of 20th- and 21st-century works. A new company, Almine Rech Advisory, was registered on 30 September, with Rech as the controlling person and Maximilian Lefort as director. The liquidation was described as a technical step to restructure a lease that no longer aligned with the gallery's plans; Companies House filings showed a deficit of £6.3m, mostly from intercompany and shareholder loans, with no unpaid obligations to artists, employees, or suppliers.

Putting young galleries at the front: Frieze London’s bold strategy holds

Frieze London's 22nd edition in October 2025 will retain a bold floor plan debuted in 2024 that places emerging galleries near the main entrance, pushing blue-chip heavyweights like Gagosian and David Zwirner further inside. Fair director Eva Langret confirms the layout is permanent, citing overwhelmingly positive feedback and renewed energy. The Focus section for galleries under 12 years old gets a boost, with a rotating system ensuring fresh stands near the entrance each year. A new curated section, Echoes in the Present, explores artistic links between West Africa, Brazil, and their diasporas. Meanwhile, Frieze Masters, dedicated to pre-20th-century art, will be run by new director Emanuela Tarizzo.
