We’re sad, but perhaps not surprised, to report the closing of two more D.C. art spaces. Daily Campello Art News has the full report that the Kathleen Ewing Gallery and Jane Haslem Gallery, both in Dupont, will shut their doors. With Kathleen Ewing, D.C.’s dearth in photography-focused venues becomes even more palpable, after the Randall Scott Gallery moved to NYC a few weeks ago. Ewing plans to continue dealing art from her Cleveland Park home, but by appointment only. Haslem, who helped bring the art world to the internet 15 years ago, will put her focus on artline.com. In the past few weeks, Zenith Gallery on 7th Street NW and the Burdick Gallery, also in Dupont Circle, have also closed. (No wonder the recently revamped Dupont First Friday artwalk web site suddenly disappeared.) Though we’re saddened to see the physical spaces go, most gallerists seem to be adjusting their focus by leaving the expensive real estate behind, rather than leaving the business altogether, so we hope to see more from them soon.
