Skarstedt

Skarstedt is a contemporary art gallery with two exhibition spaces in New York and one in London.[1]

History

The gallery was founded in 1994 by Swedish gallerist Per Skarstedt.[2] Skarstedt's first acquisition, at the age of 23, was a work by Cindy Sherman.[3] Skarstedt is a dealer who operates on the secondary market,[4] and is known to buy work at auction.[5]

In 2019, Skarstedt opened a 25,000 sq ft (2,300 m2) space on New York’s Upper East Side, at 19 East 64th Street.[6]
