'[...] Luxembourg + Co has taken on a sixth-floor space in Manhattan’s Fuller Building and opens in September with a Joan Miró exhibition. The space, designed by Annabelle Selldorf, previously showed the collection of the financier Donald Marron, who died in 2019. The gallery, also in London’s Mayfair, first opened in New York in 2009 as Luxembourg & Dayan; it closed its Upper East Side townhouse when the partnership ended in 2020. Founder Daniella Luxembourg says that the new 3,000 sq ft space is “a place of meaning, with an aura”.
The Art Deco building was home to the legendary Pierre Matisse gallery between 1931 and 1989, which in 1932 hosted one of Miró’s first exhibitions in the US. Ninety years later, Luxembourg + Co will focus on the Spanish artist’s early symbolic works, made between 1924 and 1936. “André Breton [writer of the Surrealist Manifesto] encouraged Miró not to use nature as an inspiration, but to use his imagination. He then produced very poetic, modernist and gutsy work,” Luxembourg says. The exhibition, Feet on the Ground, Eyes on the Stars, will have about 24 works, comprising loans and works for sale (September 6-November 26)'
