Gratin Gallery Opens Tribeca Outpost with Mónica Mays Solo Show
Gratin Gallery is set to debut a new location at 15 White Street in Tribeca, featuring Mónica Mays's inaugural solo show in the U.S., titled 'Blinds and Shutters', which will open on May 15. Founder Talal Abillama has secured a decade-long lease for the space, strategically placed near notable galleries like Luhring Augustine. This move aims to entice art collectors who may be disinclined to travel from the existing site in Chinatown. Renovations at the Tribeca space are scheduled to commence on June 20, as Gratin transitions from its current venue in November after relocating from Avenue B in 2022.
