LA Louver, the gallery founded by Peter and Elizabeth Goulds in Los Angeles’s Venice neighborhood in 1975 and the longest-running operation of its kind in the city, will close its space this fall. The gallery will no longer offer public programming but instead will pivot to private art dealing, consultation, and projects, additionally providing artist support. LA Louver will donate its archive and library, which document more than fifty years of contemporary art in Southern California, to the Huntington in San Marino, just northeast of LA. “Our collaboration with The Huntington allows us to give thanks to the City of Los Angeles, which some of the world’s preeminent artists, scholars, and curators have called home,” said Peter Goulds in a statement. “We strongly feel the institution’s stewardship of the LA Louver Archive & Library will aid in telling our story and Los Angeles’ story for generations to come.”
