Gladstone Gallery Expands in Seoul with New Hannam-dong Space Opening August 31
The Facts
Gladstone Gallery will open a new expanded space in Seoul's Hannam-dong district on August 31, 2026, doubling its exhibition area. Designed by Minsuk Cho and Seoul-based architecture firm Mass Studies, the new gallery occupies two floors in the 739-28 Hannam Building. The inaugural exhibition will be a solo show of artist Ed Atkins, marking his Seoul debut. Gladstone established its Korea outpost in 2022 and has since participated in Art Basel Hong Kong, where it tripled sales in March 2026.
The Signal
The move underscores Gladstone's deepening commitment to Asia, particularly South Korea's burgeoning art market. For collectors, the expanded space offers greater access to the gallery's international program, including artists like Philippe Parreno and Robert Rauschenberg who have had major institutional shows in the region. The architectural design by Mass Studies also enhances the gallery's prestige in Seoul's competitive gallery district.
