The White Cube founder and gossip-column regular continued the expansion he embarked on in 2021 (when he opened his Paris and West Palm Beach locations), this year fulfilling a decade-long ambition to open a gallery space in New York, and joining many other Western dealers on the Seoul train. (While he’s successfully opened two new spaces, Jopling’s also keeping his finger on the secondary market pulse – selling via his own private collection as well as White Cube’s ‘Salon’ initiative.) Presently, Jopling estimates a third of his business is stateside, and is expecting that to grow, with the promise of adding artists to a list that already features David Hammons, Theaster Gates and Bruce Nauman, alongside the YBA veterans – Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin – with whom he is synonymous. The group exhibition inaugurating the South Korean venture, The Embodied Spirit, featured just one local artist, so there’s room to grow there too. If Jopling Snr is looking for talent, he can ask his daughter Angelica, who has opened Incubator, in London, showcasing Gen-Z artists.
