Rumors surrounding the future of L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan (formerly known as LGDR) have been swirling like a Picasso spiral, making Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn&#8217;s departure and the resurrection of her personal gallery, Salon 94, one of the most talked-about subjects in art circles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>An Alliance of Distinct Tastes and Visions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2021, L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan aimed to be far more than a traditional art gallery. The original founding quartet\u2014Greenberg Rohatyn, Dominique L\u00e9vy, Brett Gorvy, and Amalia Dayan\u2014each brought their unique expertise to the table. Rohatyn had a flair for contemporary art, Gorvy was savvy about the booming Asian market, L\u00e9vy had European connections, and Dayan had Middle Eastern expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each founder had an enviable resume. While Gorvy once commanded the postwar and contemporary art landscape at Christie\u2019s, and L\u00e9vy had a seasoned stint at Sotheby\u2019s, Dayan had been partners in the stylish galleries of Luxembourg &amp; Co. But Rohatyn carved a distinct niche for herself, starting Salon 94 from her family\u2019s Upper East Side townhouse. She reveled in being hands-on, guiding artists and collectors alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dissolving to Evolve: The Shake-up Explained<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though seasoned art observers had questioned the longevity of the consortium due to the differences in vision, Dominique L\u00e9vy has assured that the camaraderie among the founders remains robust. Greenberg Rohatyn echoed these sentiments, stating that the public often overplayed their differences while downplaying their shared vision for transforming the art community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to L\u00e9vy, the four founders were aligned in enthusiasm but diverged in taste and commitments. For example, while Rohatyn had a strong focus on design, that wasn\u2019t a key component of LGDR&#8217;s collective vision. Greenberg Rohatyn, for her part, has been candid about her &#8220;more personal&#8221; approach to art, one that she felt was constrained in the collective endeavor.<\/span><\/p>\n                        <!-- <div class=\"container-c\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- <div class=\"row justify-content-between\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- <div class=\"col-post-800\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- start html -->\r\n                        <div class=\"blockquote-wapper\">\r\n                            <div>\r\n                                <span class=\"text_quot\">\r\n                                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art industry veteran Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn departs the high-profile New York consortium L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan to relaunch her personal gallery Salon 94.<\/span><\/p>\n                                <\/span>\r\n\r\n                                <div class=\"quot_icon\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/themes\/culture\/icons\/i_quot.svg\" type=\"image\/svg+xml\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"quot_tick\" src=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-content\/themes\/culture\/icons\/i_quot_tri.svg\" type=\"image\/svg+xml\">\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                        <!-- end html -->\r\n                        <!-- <\/div> -->\r\n                        <!-- <\/div> -->\r\n                        <!-- <\/div> -->\r\n                                    \n<h3><b>From Past to Future: The Art World Readjusts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rohatyn&#8217;s departure comes at a time when gallery sales are recovering. Back in 2021, when LGDR was founded, gallery sector sales had dipped by 20%, according to the New York Times. Now, they&#8217;re up 7% year-on-year, signaling a return to pre-pandemic levels of activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite her exit, Rohatyn is expected to collaborate with her former colleagues in several upcoming projects. One immediate sign of this ongoing partnership will be evident at L\u00e9vy Gorvy Dayan&#8217;s upcoming art fair booth in Paris, which will feature works from artists aligned with Rohatyn\u2019s aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Salon 94&#8217;s Revival: A Return to Personal Passions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In October, Salon 94 will fling its doors wide open once more, beginning with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/art-and-culture\/a-summer-spotlight-on-black-artists-in-u-s-museums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solo exhibition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> featuring the sculptor Karon Davis. Rohatyn explains that running her own gallery offers the kind of agility and impulsivity she craves. &#8220;I love to just react to something and put it out there,&#8221; she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world where the next big thing is often just one art fair or auction away, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn\u2019s return to her roots with Salon 94 is akin to a master painter stepping back to focus on her most beloved canvas. And as far as the art world is concerned, it\u2019s all eyes on what masterpiece emerges next.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10028,"featured_media":167151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[410],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-166982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-and-culture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166982"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
