"As it has become too difficult for a gallery this size to scale in this climate, I have made the incredibly tough decision to close rather than diminish either the space or the commitment to exhibit conceptually uncompromising work,"
"Each chapter allowed the gallery to take risks, experiment and keep pace with the evolving practices of our artists. Now, 213 exhibitions and art fairs later, the project is coming to a close."
"Over the past 16 years, Altman Siegel has been proud to cultivate a programme of prominent Bay Area artists and introduce international artists to San Francisco for the first time,"
Altman Siegel will close on 22 November after 16 years in business. Claudia Altman-Siegel founded the gallery in 2009 at 49 Geary and later expanded into a 5,000-sq.-ft. space at the Minnesota Street Project and an outpost in Presidio Heights. The gallery presented 213 exhibitions and participated in numerous art fairs while focusing on multidisciplinary, conceptual and boundary-pushing artists. Notable artists associated with the gallery include Lynn Hershman Leeson, Trevor Paglen, Richard Mosse, Simon Denny, Kiyan Williams, Sara VanDerBeek, Didier William and Koak. The final exhibition is an eighth solo show with a Japanese painter, running until 15 November. Altman-Siegel stated that closing is preferable to diminishing space or the gallery's curatorial commitment.
