Sperone Westwater, the Bowery-based gallery that represents canonical figures including Francesco Clemente and Bruce Nauman, will cease operations at the end of this year. The closure, first reported by Artnet News, comes just two months after the gallery marked its 50th anniversary and three months after the gallery's co-founder, Gian Enzo Sperone, sued his fellow co-founder, Angela Westwater, seeking to dissolve the gallery, and alleging her "unlawful handling" of funds.

The suit also accuses Westwater of mishandling funds, withholding records from Sperone and gallery stockholders, and mismanaging rent payments for the gallery.
