LA’s Hannah Hoffman and NYC’s Bridget Donahue Merge Galleries
311Sept. 12, 2025
The Los Angeles–based Hannah Hoffman gallery and New York’s Bridget Donahue gallery have announced that they are merging to form a single bicoastal operation. TitledHoffman Donahue, the new entity will maintain its 99 Bowery space in New York and its 725 N. Western Avenue space in LA, where it will later this month launch a new Beverly Hills space shared with Marc Selwyn Fine Art, with whom it will alternate exhibitions. The new gallery’s name change is effective immediately, while its programmatic integration will be completed in 2026. Hoffman Donahue will make its art-fair debut at Art Basel Paris in October.
The merger is the culmination of a long collaborative relationship between Hoffman and Donahue, who met while working at Gavin Brown’s enterprise in New York. Hoffman opened her own gallery in 2013, while Donahue inaugurated hers in 2015. The pair already shared representation of Olga Balema and Rochelle Feinstein, who will join Hoffman Donahue’s roster along with Susan Cianciolo, Darrel Ellis, Kate Mosher Hall, Marlon Mullen, Sondra Perry, and Martine Syms.
“We are thrilled to gain partners in one another after building our galleries independently over the past decade,” said Donahue and Hoffman in a joint statement. “We remain committed to working with artists who are redefining the field and shaping culture. This merger is natural, direct and transparently efficient in pooling resources towards that vision. We’re also seeing a new generation of collectors engaging with art more personally and intuitively, trusting themselves and their instincts, and together we can deepen and broaden those conversations. We both came up in the early 2000s, when galleries looked and operated differently — when even a ‘big gallery’ could still feel personal — and we carry that perspective forward.”
