Contemporary art gallery closes

Contemporary art gallery Blain|Southern will close all three of its galleries, its Founding Director has announced. 

Harry Blain and Graham Southern opened the original gallery in London in 2010, expanding to Berlin in 2011. A third site in New York was opened last year.

Blain released a statement on Wednesday night that says: "I deeply regret that I have been unable to secure the gallery’s future long term.

"It was an honour to collaborate with so many talented artists and build an exhibition programme that reflected and celebrated the breadth of contemporary art practice worldwide."
