The duo quickly became known for mounting major exhibitions by artists like Louise Bourgeois, Lynda Benglis, Diane Arbus, Ron Gorchov, and Joan Mitchell, whose foundation\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">departed<\/a>\u00a0the gallery in 2018 for David Zwirner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Later same year, Cheim &amp; Read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a>\u00a0that it would leave its longtime home of Chelsea for the Upper East Side and transition to \u201cprivate practice, concentrating on the secondary market, \u200bsculpture\u200b commissions\u200b and special projects,\u201d according to an email announcement it sent out. The new location would be helmed by Maria Bueno, a partner at the gallery. The Upper East Side space opened in September 2019 with a show dedicated to Gorchov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">But then in May 2021, Cheim &amp; Read returned to its Chelsea space, with an exhibition of Matthew Wong, whose estate it had begun representing. Earlier this year, the gallery mounted a solo show of the self-taught artist who uses the moniker Cumwizard69420, whose \u201cwork reflects the chaotic topography of the internet, with subject matter that leans heavily on the scatalogical, the sexual, and the pop cultural,\u201d as\u00a0<em>ARTnews\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Cheim &amp; Read continued to mount shows in both Chelsea and the Upper East Side, though the latter space quietly closed at the end of a group show in July. During this month\u2019s New York auctions, John Cheim also consigned several works from his personal collection, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mitchell\u2019s\u00a0<em>Sunflowers\u00a0<\/em>(1990\u201391)<\/a>, which sold for $27.9 million (with fees); the total value of works sold achieved $34.7 million (with fees).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Bueno will soon open a new fine art dealership, Bueno &amp; Co., that will \u201cfocus on private sales of works by historical and contemporary masters\u201d according to Tuesday\u2019s email and exhibit work by Bourgeois, Benglis, Gorchov, Mitchell, and Wong, as well as Basquiat, Warhol, William Eggleston, Louise Fishman, Alice Neel, Pat Steir, and Sean Scully.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York stalwart Cheim &amp; Read will close its doors next month after 26 years in business, the gallery said in an email announcement on Tuesday night.
