A year ago, amid strict COVID-19 restrictions on businesses and the initial wave of pandemic urban exodus to the mountains, the international art gallery Lehmann Maupin opened a pop-up in a second-floor space on Hyman Avenue in downtown Aspen.
They ran by appointment-only, exhibiting artwork from the gallery’s roster and décor by R & Company, in collaboration with the nonprofit House of Today for the latter half of summer 2020.
It wasn’t apparent then, but the short-term run by this multi-national gallery with spaces in New York, London, Seoul and Hong Kong was pioneering a new model for international galleries and a trend that has since remade the commercial gallery landscape in Aspen. This summer, a half-dozen more major galleries followed, with blue-chip galleries popping up for summer here including White Cube, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, Almine Rech and Christie’s.
