MARY RYAN GALLERY TO CHELSEA; BRUNO LEAVES MARLBOROUGH
The Mary Ryan Gallery, a stalwart of midtown Manhattan for many years, is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary with a move to Chelsea, Artnet reports. The gallery inaugurates its new ground-level space at 527 West Twenty-sixth Street on February 17, with “Colors, Smoke, and War,” an exhibition of new works by Donald Sultan. The three-thousand-square-foot space is designed by Murdock Young Architects of New York.
In other news, after an art-world career stretching almost sixty years, Phillip Bruno is retiring as director of Marlborough Gallery in Manhattan. Bruno began working in the art-gallery business as associate director of Grace Borgenicht Gallery, which he helped found in 1950; he joined Marlborough in 1989 following tenures at several other galleries.
