Anthony Gallery




"I’m looking forward to building on the momentum of our newly opened Anthony Gallery location in Amsterdam and continuing to expand its programming. The response to the space has been incredibly energizing, and we’re excited to deepen our presence there through thoughtful curatorial initiatives. 


At the same time, we’re preparing to extend that vision with plans to open a new space in Japan, creating further opportunities to connect artists and audiences across regions. Our goal has always been to establish a strong foundation in Chicago and grow outward strategically, and we’re accomplishing that in real time.”
