[edit] Career
[edit] Karsten Schubert Limited
Karsten Schubert ran Karsten Schubert Limited, initially in collaboration, and with the backing of, Richard Salmon, from 1986 to 1991. His 1988 group show of Ian Davenport, Gary Hume and Michael Landy was one of the first commercial gallery shows of artists that would later come to be known as Young British Artists. The gallery quickly came to represent several of these artists, including Glenn Brown, Angus Fairhurst, Anya Gallaccio, Gary Hume, Michael Landy and Rachel Whiteread. The gallery also represented several non-British artists Thomas Gruenfeld, Martin Kippenberger, Stephen Prina and Ed Ruscha. The gallery was also the agent for Bob Law, Bridget Riley and Alison Wilding. In addition to an extensive exhibition programme—which included the first exhibition of Henry Bond and Liam Gillick's Documents Series—the gallery also published a series of catalogues and books, including Liam Gillick and Andrew Renton (ed.) Technique Anglaise: Current Trends in British Art (London: Karsten Schubert and Thames and Hudson, 1989) which offered an overview of the YBA scene.
[edit] Ridinghouse
The gallery relocated from Charlotte Street to smaller premises in Foley Street, continuing its exhibition and publishing programme. The gallery was also actively involved with off-site projects, including Michael Landy's 'Scrapheap Services' (1996) and the public battle for Rachel Whiteread's 'House'(1994). In 1995 Charles Asprey, Thomas Dane and Karsten Schubert established Ridinghouse. Rachel Whiteread's 1996 departure from the gallery triggered a reorientation of activities. Karsten Schubert became a private artists' repesentative and art dealer working with Bridget Riley and Alison Wilding. In 2007 Schubert moved to premises on Golden Square in Soho, London. The exhibition programme has presented the work of Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Georg Baselitz and John Stezaker (in collaboration with The approach). Karsten Schubert is a trustee of Space Studios, London.
