Long-running New York Mitchell-Innes & Nash is shuttering its Chelsea gallery space and shifting its business model to that of a “project-based advisory,” according to a press release. The gallery was founded in 1996 on New York’s Upper East Side by married dealers Lucy Mitchell-Innes and David Nash, both of whom previously held elevated roles at Sotheby’s; the operation moved downtown, to its current digs, in 2005. At the time the pivot was announced, Mitchell-Innes & Nash was representing artists including Jean Arp (1886–1966), Alberto Burri (1915–1995), Sadie Benning, Martha Rosler, Pope.L (1955–2023), Amanda Ross-Ho, Jacolby Satterwhite, and Jessica Stockholder as well as the estate of Toronto-based collective General Idea, which gained fame in the 1970s and ’80s.

“Moving forward we will be working within a new paradigm, consulting with select primary market artists and estates, providing art advisory services to individual collectors and foundations, and representing artworks on the primary and secondary markets,” said the founders in a statement.

“We express enormous gratitude to our artists who have entrusted us to work on their behalf and fueled our passion for art. We look forward to our next chapter in supporting artists in different ways,” wrote the founders, who additionally thanked their staff as well as the collectors and curators with whom they’d worked. “We are taking the summer to support our artists and staff during this time of transition and will share more about our future plans and new location in Manhattan in the coming months.”
