GRIMM, the international gallery founded in 2005, will open a new space in London's St James's district this autumn, timed to Frieze Week. The gallery will occupy the ground and lower floors of a historic late Victorian building at 43a Duke Street, expanding from its current Mayfair location at 2 Bourdon Street. The inaugural exhibition will feature new paintings by German artist Matthias Weischer. Founder Jörg Grimm described the move as a logical progression following the gallery's establishment in London in 2022.
The expansion underscores GRIMM's commitment to growing its presence in London's prime gallery district, St James's, which has been a historic center for art display for centuries. With a roster of 37 international artists across Amsterdam, New York, and London, the move signals the gallery's ambition to provide a stronger platform for its artists, many of whom are based in the UK. It also reflects broader trends of mid-sized galleries investing in permanent London spaces during Frieze Week, a key moment in the art calendar.
