White Cube’s New York flagship, at 1002 Madison Avenue. Three star directors have severed ties with White Cube’s New York gallery, Artnet News reports. According to a White Cube spokesperson, Willis Blair, who joined the gallery in 2023, is leaving “to pursue her long-standing ambition to return to academia,” while Rajaratnam, who arrived to the White Cube that same year as global director of strategic market initiatives, “stepped down to focus on her independent ventures.” Washburne Harris operated her own gallery, Harris Lieberman, before occupying senior roles at Pace and Marian Goodman. Founded in London in 1993, White Cube burst onto the US scene in 2023 with its New York flagship at 1002 Madison Avenue (a stone’s throw from the headquarters of heavy hitters such as Gagosian and Acquavella).
