    I spent Thursday and Friday in Frankfurt for my first visit to the Crespo Foundation to see its current show. I’m back in London from an intense week, so I’m taking the weekend to recharge… and write; I’m never really off :). I’m also gearing up for my next curated exhibition, which I will install on Monday and open on Wednesday. Please visit if you can. This week, I have: Why has London remained a hub for new galleries despite trying times?

    Tabish Khan the @LondonArtCritic takes a break from exhibitions to recommend his top art books to read. Each comes with a concise review to help you decide whether it’s for you. Gilbert and George & The Communists by James Birch, published by CheerioThis is an enjoyable nonfiction book about putting on Gilbert & George exhibitions in Russia and then China in the early 1990s, as told by the man who helped make these exhibitions happen. It’s full of colourful characters and funny exploits.

    Despite the economic crisis, Brexit, and global competition, London continues to attract new galleries thanks to its cultural energy, diversity, and central role in the contemporary art scene. It’s a tough time to run a gallery, let alone open up a new one. 2024 was a difficult year for sales, with many galleries telling me it was their worst year yet. Several well-established spaces have closed in recent years - including Simon Lee, Marlborough, Parafin, Vitrine and Fold.
