Bye Bye Blain Southern, by Terry Fuckwitt on Feb 12, 2020 21:24:29 GMT 1,
Statement from Harry Blain, Founding Director, Blain|Southern
I have reached the difficult decision to close Blain|Southern’s galleries in London, Berlin and New York.
Ten years ago, together with Graham Southern I established Blain|Southern. Throughout our partnership, it was an honour to collaborate with so many talented artists and build an exhibition programme that reflected and celebrated the breadth of contemporary art practice worldwide. Alongside the programme, the gallery facilitated new commissions, public loans and museum exhibitions for our artists whilst supporting their broader activities.
Despite the support of dedicated gallery staff, I deeply regret that I have been unable to secure the gallery’s future long term. I want to thank all the artists, collectors, institutions, museums, staff and everyone who has worked with the gallery over the last decade.

Bye Bye Blain Southern, by Happy Shopper on Feb 12, 2020 22:52:21 GMT 1, I went by the London gallery quite often, and it was a great space, but often closed and rarely with much interesting on show.

Bye Bye Blain Southern, by Express Post on Feb 12, 2020 23:04:21 GMT 1, The outcome when nothing sells because you want $5000 for a Javier Calleja Redhead, but the market is not prepared to offer more than $3000.
Yeah, they saw very little action and cashflows dried up. Couldn't sustain the costs.
If you aren't a Gagosian, Zwirner or Hauser and Wirth, always price your artists below auction. That way you always sell out and stay in business.
Duh.
