Grimm Opens Larger Amsterdam Space and Launches French Residency

institutional · 2026-06-10

Amid a wave of gallery closures, Grimm is expanding with a new Amsterdam headquarters and launching an artist residency in Provence. The gallery, founded two decades ago, is moving to a larger canal house in Amsterdam's city center, opening in September with a show by Robert Zandvliet. Founder Jorg Grimm emphasizes intentional growth, opening spaces where his artists live rather than chasing collectors. The gallery recently expanded its London space to St. James and has a New York outpost in Tribeca. The residency at Château Val Croissant, inspired by the Santa Maddalena Foundation, will host artists, writers, and curators, welcoming families. Initially, referrals only.
