The Marlborough Gallery is to close in June, shutting locations in London, New York, Barcelona and Madrid and bringing to an end one of the most influential “blue chip” galleries in the world.
The decision to close after almost 80 years came “after long and careful consideration”, according to the board of trustees at the gallery, which was once on the bleeding edge of the global art market but in recent years had failed to keep up with the evolution of the sector and was riven by internal power struggles.
