Carol Vogel details David Zwirner’s latest expansion plans :
In Chelsea, Mr. Zwirner is building a gallery at 537 West 20th Street on the site of what was a three-story parking garage. Annabelle Selldorf, the New York architect, is designing the building, which will have about 30,000 square feet on five floors, with natural light. It will include a 6,000-square-foot column-free space with 18-foot-high ceilings.
If all goes as planned, this second Chelsea gallery will open in November with an exhibition of work from two of the artist estates Mr. Zwirner represents: Dan Flavin’s and Donald Judd’s.
“With this Minimalist art we need better space to show the material,” Mr. Zwirner said. The London gallery, in an 18th-century Georgian town house at 24 Grafton Street, in the heart of Mayfair, will be his first overseas. Ms. Selldorf will design that space too, which will open with new works by Luc Tuymans.
