Lehmann Maupin has secured a permanent space on the first floor of No. 9 Cork Street in London's Mayfair, the gallery hub operated by Frieze. The gallery will hold three to four exhibitions annually in the ground-floor gallery, starting with a show of British painter Freya Douglas-Morris on February 26, priced between £40,000 and £60,000. The upstairs viewing space opened with Billy Childish and will feature Catherine Opie later this year. The gallery also plans to develop its secondary market business from this London base.
