Galleries Sprüth Magers and Skarstedt have announced joint representation of artist George Condo, ending his six-year partnership with Hauser & Wirth. Condo has a long history with both galleries: he first showed with Monika Sprüth in 1984 and was represented by Skarstedt from 2004 to 2019. The announcement comes after a two-venue exhibition earlier this year that involved both Sprüth Magers and Hauser & Wirth. Condo's market remains strong, with recent auction sales exceeding $6 million and a current retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.

heidi hahn not your woman 2656605

Artist Heidi Hahn discusses her recent exhibition "Not Your Woman" and the emotional journey behind the paintings in an interview with Thalia Stefaniuk. Originally scheduled to open at Mitchell-Innes & Nash's Chelsea gallery, the show was cancelled when the gallery suddenly closed, leaving Hahn feeling discarded and forcing her to rethink the work. The resulting large-scale canvases feature abstract, monumental female bodies rendered in muted oranges, reds, and blues—figures that are faceless, exaggerated, and more like totems or memories than recognizable women. The conversation explores themes of disappointment, failure, and the tension between wanting to be seen and wanting to disappear.

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.
