Two big-name galleries will be opening spaces in London in October, in time for the week of the Frieze Art Fair.
Yvon Lambert, who began dealing contemporary artworks in Paris in 1966, now has branches at 550 W. 21st St. and the Rue Vieille-du-Temple, Paris, and will be inaugurating a 7,000-square-foot showroom in Hoxton Square on October 16, the gallery said in an e-mailed statement.
His new space, occupying the ground floor and mezzanine levels of a former municipal building, will be in the same square as Jay Jopling’s White Cube Gallery. The inaugural show will feature work by the Mexican artist Carlos Amorales. Mr. Lambert is also a regular exhibitor at the Frieze and Basel fairs.
In addition, Sebastian + Barquet, the 544 W. 24th St. modern and contemporary design gallery, will be opening a smaller 66-square-meter space at Bruton Place, Mayfair, on October 8.
The gallery said in an e-mailed statement that it will mount five shows a year of 1940s to 1960s design, beginning with “New Hope,” curated by architect Eric Parry. This will include works by George Nakashima, Paul Evans, and Phillip Lloyd Powell.
