Blum & Poe Gallery Renames to BLUM
Along with announcing an expanded NYC space coming in 2024.
Tim Blum has announced that he will be renaming his namesake gallery to BLUM going forward. More than just condensing the name, the gallery will christen its 30th anniversary by unveiling an expanded space in New York City next spring.
Located in Tribeca, the forthcoming gallery will feature a two-floor 6,200-square foot space that will expand its inter-disciplinary programming. “It’s a major moment in the gallery’s history, in my personal history, my family’s, and our collective future,” Blum said in a statement. “This coming chapter will unveil new relationships with artists, new initiatives in publishing, and a beautiful new space in Tribeca which will enable us to build upon the legacy of ambitious shows that we have been staging in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and New York for years. I feel emboldened by the amazing global team we have built, and the outstanding group of artists, some of whom we have worked with for 30 years.”
Curated by postwar Japanese art historian Mika Yoshitake, the inaugural group exhibition will map out the past 70 years of Japanese art by showcasing key artists from Gutai, Mono-ha, and Superflat movements through today.
Elsewhere, Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron books include hundreds of Hayao Miyazaki’s hand-drawn storyboards.
