Artnet News reports that Studio 54 Fine Art, founded in Milan in 2016 by director Gary Williamson, is pursuing a flexible gallery model without a permanent brick-and-mortar space.

It is currently presenting “Empire of Silence: The Untamed Majesty of Rowan Blackwell,” featuring new and recent works focused on animals, on view through August 31.
