New York Gallery Skarstedt Joins U.K. Influx as Demand Grows

Per Skarstedt is the latest New York dealer to open in London as the city’s existing galleries expand to profit from growing demand.

Skarstedt plans an offshoot in the Mayfair area, its owner said in an e-mail. London-based Marlborough Fine Art, which represented Francis Bacon, is also planning a new space in the same area, its management said. Manhattan dealer David Zwirner will also come to the British capital in October, its new U.K. director said.
