Eric Firestone to Open Fifth Gallery in West Palm Beach

Eric Firestone is expanding south. The dealer will open his fifth gallery space, this time in West Palm Beach in mid-November, adding a permanent South Florida location to his two spaces in New York and two in East Hampton. The new gallery, at 2412 Florida Avenue, will occupy a warehouse space near the Norton Museum of Art. For Firestone, who grew up in Miami and left South Florida in 1989, the move is both a homecoming and a bet on a region he’s familiar with as an art dealer. &ldquo
