Black Excellence: Christiana Ine-Kimba Boyle
Amid the recent string of large and mid-sized gallery closures, could smaller, emerging galleries step into the power vacuum? “I 100% think they are the future,” says Christiana Ine-Kimba Boyle, a New York-based dealer who has previously worked at galleries including Lehmann Maupin, Canada and Pace. “This whole idea of differentiating and categorising galleries—megas, mid-tier, small—is naturally disintegrating.”
This spring, Ine-Kimba Boyle launched Gladwell Projects, a nomadic gallery with a staff of one. On 3 October, Gladwell Projects will unveil its second show, The Spirituality of Color, bringing works by chromatic innovators like Sam Gillam and Kylie Manning to a townhouse in Harlem.
