Ouch: Catherine Opie broke off her longstanding relationship with Gladstone to take up with… Mitchell-Innes & Nash? Sure, there is some firepower in the latter’s roster, but compare it to Gladstone’s. Was it an M-I&N artist representing the US in Venice this year (Allora & Calzadilla)? Or Switzerland, for that matter (Thomas Hirschhorn)? No, they’re both with Barbara. What’s more, Rosemarie Trockel and Anish Kapoor are winning prizes, Shirin Neshat is lending her voice and art to the Arab Spring and its revolutionary aftermath, and Jack Smith is finally getting (got, actually) the exhibition he deserves. It remains a truth around Chelsea that whatever is on show at Gladstone’s gallery warrants a look – and a thought. If not second helpings of both.
