""The opportunity and timing presented itself perfectly, and we're so excited to be on the ground floor," Wilner said, adding that, "we're looking forward to being more part of the community, also, in a certain way.""
""Artists in particular thought [being upstairs] was a little off-putting," Larry Gagosian recently told Elle Decor. "So we've eliminated that.""
""So many of our galleries around the world are on the ground floor," she said. "In fact, it's unusual here at 980 Madison that we were upstairs.""
Gagosian has unveiled a new 2,275 square foot gallery on the ground floor of 980 Madison Avenue, moving from its previous location six stories above. Director Millicent Wilner views this as a 'new chapter' for the gallery, which has been in Manhattan for 37 years. The move aims to make the gallery more accessible to the public. The gallery's relocation follows Bloomberg Philanthropies' acquisition of the building, which displaced other tenants. Gagosian collaborated with architect Jonathan Caplan for the renovation.
