On May 21 Timothy Taylor Gallery will open in its new 4500 sq. ft. space at 24 Dering Street. A two-week preview will allow the breadth of the gallery’s artists, and the award-winning architect Eric Parry’s re-design of the space, to be considered.

The gallery’s growing list of internationally acclaimed artists will be showing previously unseen work installed throughout the new gallery space.

British artists Fiona Rae and Richard Patterson, who both joined the gallery in 2002, will be showing important new paintings, as will fellow British painter James Rielly. Fiona Rae will be having her first solo exhibition with the gallery in October.

French artist Jean-Marc Bustamante will be showing photographic work prior to representing France at this year’s Venice Biennale. Bustamante is also working towards a solo show at the gallery in November.

Alex Katz, Jonathan Lasker and Joel Shapiro, all of whom are represented by the gallery, will show new work, alongside paintings just released from the estates of Philip Guston and Willem De Kooning.

Mario Testino, who last exhibited at the gallery in 1998, will show work from the current travelling exhibition ‘Portraits‘. Testino will have a solo exhibition of his most recent work in the gallery in July.

The German film-artist Matthias Müller, who joined the gallery in 2001, will be showing a new DVD. The young Canadian artist Marcel Dzama, who first showed his drawings with the gallery last year to critical acclaim, will be showing new work also.

Craigie Aitchison, a long-term gallery artist, will show a major new crucifixion in preparation for his upcoming retrospective that opens at the Royal Academy later in the year.

The 4500 sq. ft. space, spread over two floors, was previously occupied by the Anthony d’Offay gallery. The space has been completely re-designed by the architect Eric Parry, who has just completed the controversial project at Paternoster Square, St Pauls. Parry’s design takes inspiration from Alex Katz’s comment that ‘the ideal space looks like nothing until there is something in it’. The design will set a new standard for London’s growing gallery scene.
