Michael Werner Gallery will open spaces in Los Angeles and Athens this spring, joining the gallery's existing locations in New York, London, and Berlin.
The Los Angeles gallery is located at 415 North Camden Drive in Beverly Hills. It is designed by Los Angeles-based architects Johnston Marklee, with a garden and courtyard by landscape architect Eric Nagelmann.
Michael Werner Gallery co-owner Gordon VeneKlasen has hired Courtney Treut, a veteran of Sean Kelly and Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles and Anton Kern Gallery in New York, as gallery director. The Los Angeles gallerist Hannah Hoffman, who co-represents two artists with Michael Werner Gallery, will oversee programming for the courtyard, including poetry readings and performances.
The first exhibition at the Los Angeles space pairs German painter Markus Lüpertz with the 19th-century French painter Pierre Puvis des Chavannes.
This spring, Michael Werner Gallery will also open a location in Athens at Leoforos Vasileos Georgiou 10. The space will host two exhibitions a year and be open Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM-7 PM, Saturday, 11 AM-3 PM. It will be designed by the team at Mare Studio. The Athens gallery director is Maximos Stergiou, a former art advisor. The space will open the last week of May, with a group show of gallery artists.
