London

beyond

the

mega-gallery

crisis

For Jo Stella-Sawicka, senior director of Goodman Gallery, which turns sixty this year, "London is a crucial market for the gallery and opening here in 2019 was a key step, because it allowed us to put our programme in the heart of Mayfair and St James's and bring the work of artists from El Anatsui to Shirin Neshat, to a global audience. It is a truly international city, where clients and colleagues come from all over the world several times a year, and where the local market remains very active, as evidenced by the success of our 'Ravelle Pillay' exhibition, almost entirely sold to British collectors and with a work acquired by the Government Art Collection" (prices from £15,000 to £50,000).
