Gagosian Joins Ben Brown in Hong Kong Building

December 10, 2010 by Marion Maneker

The Gagosian gallery’s Hong Kong location has been secured. The Wall Street Journal explains:

The chosen spot: the nine-story Pedder Building, last surviving colonial-era office building in the Central district. Gagosian’s space, taking up an entire floor (5,000 square feet, or about 465 square meters), will have four-meter ceilings, a rarity in the area — and an obvious benefit for a gallery representing modern and contemporary artists, says Nick Simunovic, the dealer’s managing director in Hong Kong. […] Gagosian isn’t the first dealer in the 1924 building, once a favored address for British trading companies: Last year, London-based Ben Brown Fine Arts opened a gallery on the third floor. (Other neighbors include the high-end Shanghai Tang lifestyle emporium on the ground floor and the Blanc de Chine Chinese fashion boutique on the first floor; the building is known for stores selling factory-overrun clothing and second-hand luxury fashions.)
