Pascal De Sarthe On Succession In The Art Gallery Business
After founding de Sarthe in Paris in 1977, followed by spaces in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hong Kong, French-American gallerist Pascal de Sarthe was joined in 2008 by his son Vincent, who spearheaded the gallery’s expansion to Beijing and then to Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2022. Their Beijing venture from 2014 to 2018 was the perfect example of their constant exchange of ideas and complicity. The gallery today represents the likes of Chan Ka Kiu, Eugene Lun, Caison Wang, Mak2, Zhong Wei, Lin Jingjing, Wang Xin, Emmett Potter, Kristin Bauer, Rick Levinson, Thomas Skomski and Zak Smith.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
