Five Years of Alexander Berggruen and Reflections on Running a Gallery in NYC

In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green sits down
with Alexander Berggruen, founder of Alexander Berggruen, as the
gallery approaches its fifth anniversary. Alex reflects on key
lessons learned over the past five years and shares what it’s like
to run a gallery in the competitive New York City art scene. In
light of the recent Armory Show, he also discusses his strategy
behind solo versus group presentations at art fairs. Additionally,
they explore the vibrant UK art scene and why Alex has focused on
exhibiting UK-based artists in New York. Alex further explains how
growing up in a family-run gallery has influenced his approach and
why he chose the Upper East Side for his gallery instead of Chelsea
or Tribeca.
