Pursuing ‘a different economy’, London gallery Herald St will open new space in Bologna

London gallery Herald St, known for nurturing artists like Nicole Wermers, Cary Kwok, and Pablo Bronstein over the past 20 years, will open a new space in Bologna, Italy, in early 2025. Co-founder Nicky Verber cites the city's strong local collector base, excellent institutions such as Mambo (Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna), and its connectivity to Venice, Milan, and Florence as key draws. The gallery has deepened ties with Bologna through a 2020 group exhibition, signing local artist Francis Offman in 2021, and participating in Arte Fiera. The new space, located in the medieval center, will feature three exhibition rooms and open with a show by abstract painter Matt Connors, hosting three to four exhibitions annually compared to five or six in London.
