The Di Donna Gallery is moving to a new location on Madison Avenue and 65th Street that is three times the size of its existing space. The venue is due to open on 13 October with a non-selling show of American and European abstract art. The gallery’s founder, Emmanuel Di Donna, says that he never considered leaving the Upper East Side when his lease ended. The once-sleepy neighbourhood has been injected with new blood since he opened the gallery inside the Carlyle Hotel in 2010. Barbara Gladstone, Friedrich Petzel, Broadway 1602 and Galerie Buchholz, among others, have recently opened spaces uptown.
