Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We write today to announce that after nearly 30 years of supporting and working with our artists from our Chelsea gallery, Mitchell-Innes & Nash will transition from our gallery in Chelsea to a project-based advisory space. 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.
Since our founding in 1996, we at Mitchell-Innes & Nash have had the privilege of representing scores of artists, presenting over 200 exhibitions in our spaces on the Upper East Side and West Chelsea, placing our artists’ works in museum and private collections worldwide, and supporting museum shows. 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.
We also sincerely thank our gallery team who together made countless exhibitions and art fairs possible. Thanks also to our collectors and global curators who feel as passionate about our artists as we do. We have loved running our Chelsea space and welcoming in visitors from around the world. It has made this journey all the more meaningful.
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.
In the meantime, we wish everyone a wonderful summer.
Sincerely,
Lucy and David

ART BASEL SWITZERLAND
2024 | BOOTH F6
Messe Basel | Basel, Switzerland
June 11 - June 16, 2024
The first two lion drawings I made were hung on either side of the entrance to a Feature booth I did at the fair in Basel in 2019. They stood guard. I drew those lions standing on cubist pedestals and wearing cartoon watches, and the inspiration was the kind of entry lions one finds in front of important buildings across many cultures, from Chinese temples to the NY Public Library.
But walking through the Messe Basel it was clear to me that the lions weren’t guarding anything. They were getting decent crowds and love, but they were consumed just like everything else in the fair. I started to think of wealthy Europeans and Americans going on safari in centuries past, and coming back with mounted animal heads, including those of lions, to hang in their mansions. That kind of physically violent collecting is out of fashion, but the desire to own and collect trophies is still with us. And as artist’s we often make the trophies.

Joanne Greenbaum: Works on Paper & Illustrated Books
Drawing has always been an important part of Joanne Greenbaum’s studio practice both in its own right and as the foundation to much of her painting. Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to present a selection of new and recent works on paper and illustrated books which focuses on this indispensable aspect of her work.
As the artist has said:
“I was commuting from Long Island to the city every week and I wanted to keep drawing so I made portable notebooks to bring back and forth. Then it turned into a much larger project where I was making books with specific papers and materials. After a while I realized that each book was a complete artwork in itself and I began to work on them that way. Drawing is essential to me, like breathing.”

‘Scaffold’ is on view through June 15 at 534 West 26th Street. Detail images of a selection of Greenbaum’s illustrated books.
