LONDON.- Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin announced the appointment of Isabella Kairis Icoz as Partner, based in London.

For over a decade, Icoz has played a pivotal role in developing the gallery’s presence in Europe and the UK, having held the position of Senior Director in London since 2019. Icoz was instrumental in the successful launch of the gallery’s inaugural UK outpost at Cromwell Place in South Kensington in 2020 and has overseen the UK debuts of many of our artists.

In her new role, Icoz will collaborate closely with the gallery founders and partners Carla Camacho and Jessica Kreps, who are based in New York, to strengthen the gallery’s connections in the UK and Europe and provide a bridge for its artists’ activity in the region. Icoz will drive the gallery's programme, sales, and curatorial initiatives in the UK and Europe, which encompasses active participation in regional art fairs, including Frieze London and Art Basel. Additionally, she will continue to leverage her exemplary network to collaborate with museums, biennials, and institutions in the region to organize exhibitions that showcase our artists’ work and introduce their practices to new audiences.

Under Icoz’s leadership next year, we will launch a new pop-up location on Cork Street, strategically positioned in the heart of London’s Mayfair gallery district. This development will enhance our deep-rooted connections to London—a city that is home to many artists in our program, including Billy Childish, Mandy El-Sayegh, Gilbert & George, Shirazeh Houshiary, Chantal Joffe, and Do Ho Suh. This decision comes at a time when the gallery is looking to expand its footprint in London and is exploring new options for its artists.

The gallery will continue to operate its space at Cromwell Place with forthcoming solo exhibitions by Tammy Nguyen and Loriel Beltrán, both slated for 2024.
