philipp kaiser leaves marian goodman gallery 1234739917

Philipp Kaiser is leaving Marian Goodman Gallery after more than six years, with his last day on May 2. He will remain as a curatorial consultant as needed. The gallery cited the recent Los Angeles wildfires as a factor in his decision to return to independent curatorial practice. Kaiser joined in 2019, a surprising move given his museum background, and became president and partner in 2021 when founder Marian Goodman stepped back. During his tenure, the gallery opened new spaces in New York and Los Angeles, but also lost major artists Gerhard Richter, Nan Goldin, and William Kentridge to rival galleries.

A massive fire ripped through a 19th-century warehouse at 481 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn, destroying artist studios and artworks. Over 200 firefighters battled the blaze, which was still smoldering by Friday. Artist Rebecca Spivack, who had worked in a third-floor studio since 2009, expressed long-held fears about fire risk in the aging buildings. Meanwhile, the Nivaagaard Collection, a small museum in rural Denmark, acquired Artemisia Gentileschi's monumental painting "Susanna and the Elders" amid stiff international competition, marking a major coup for the institution.

Blum Gallery’s Sudden End Shocked the Art Industry. What Happened?

On July 1, 2025, Tim Blum, the powerhouse Los Angeles dealer behind Blum Gallery, announced the sudden closure of his gallery after a 35-year run. The closure includes his Culver City headquarters, his Tokyo space, and a planned Tribeca location that will no longer open. Blum publicly framed the decision as a voluntary "sunset" due to systemic industry issues like over-expansion and burnout, but interviews with artists and staff reveal a more chaotic reality: the closure blindsided employees and artists, many of whom learned about it from news reports or a last-minute staff meeting that excluded Tokyo staff. Sources cite weak sales at Art Basel and Art Basel Hong Kong, poor business decisions—including buying out partner Jeff Poe and renovating a costly New York space—and a lack of severance or transition time as underlying factors.
