The Portuguese gallery Duarte Sequeira announced via its Instagram account that it will be expanding and relocating its Seoul branch to Hannam-dong (61-17 Hannam-daero 20-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul) this year.

Founded by Duarte Sequeira, the son of Mario Sequeira—who first introduced Andy Warhol’s works to Portugal—the gallery began in Braga, Portugal, in 2019 and now has locations in London and Seoul.

Entering the Korean art market in 2022, the gallery first established a space in Nonhyeon-dong, followed by another in Deoksugung in 2023. This year, it is closing its Nonhyeon-dong space and relocating to Hannam-dong, a district known for housing leading international galleries such as Thaddaeus Ropac, Lehmann Maupin, and Esther Schipper.

Duarte Sequeira’s new space in Hannam-dong will feature two exhibition areas and an outdoor terrace for sculpture installations, allowing for larger and more expansive exhibitions.
