Georgina Adam follows on closely with Cecily Brown’s choice—after a Paris show with Gagosian last Fall (the above work appeared there)—to be represented by Thomas Dane in the UK  for her new work:

“Cecily felt that a London gallery in London, not a branch, not a humongous space, was a better fit for her,” says Thomas Dane. “I think this also shows how artists are feeling freer to resist the corporatisation of the art world; the landscape is changing and she wants to be part of that.”

Brown is not the only artist to be making such decisions, and there are plenty of moves at the moment: photographer Catherine Opie has joined Lehmann Maupin in New York. “I spoke to a number of galleries but chose Lehmann because I really like their programme,” she said. “They are ambitious for their artists and I want to be part of that as well.”
