Gagosian Announces New Gallery in Gstaad, Switzerland
Damien Hirst will be the first exhibiting artist.
Back in October, Gagosian unveiled a third gallery in Paris just minutes away from the famed Louvre museum. To follow, the institution announced plans to open another space to its growing lineup in the snowy alps of Gstaad, Switzerland.
Located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, Gstaad is well-known for its luxury hotels and ski resorts. Due to zoning and building restrictions, the area has maintained its old-world elegance and is considered as one of Europe’s most expensive alpine villages.
Gagosian first appeared in the town through various pop-up activations back in 2018, featuring artists such as Giuseppe Penone, Andreas Gursky, Marc Newson, and Ed Ruscha. Joining the Basel and Geneva locations, the Gstaad gallery will be located along the historic promenade in the heart of the village and feature an inaugural exhibition of works by Damien Hirst opening on February 14, 2022.
Elsewhere in art, Yusuke Hanai launches “People In The Place They Love.”
