Sperone Westwater, a prominent New York gallery representing artists like Richard Long and Bruce Nauman, will close at the end of 2025 after 50 years. The closure follows a lawsuit filed by co-founder Gian Enzo Sperone against fellow co-founder Angela Westwater, alleging unlawful handling of funds and a "parasitic deadlock" over the gallery's finances, including rent disputes and salary increases. The gallery will continue its current Richard Long exhibition until December 13 and participate in Art Basel Miami Beach before shutting down on December 31.
