About The Partner
White Cube was founded by Jay Jopling in 1993 as a project room for contemporary art. The first location at 44 Duke Street, St James's—one of London's most traditional art dealing streets—was, literally, a simple white cube: a room within a room, designed by architect Claudio Silvestrin. The central concern when establishing the program was to create an intimate space in which an artist could present work within a focused environment. Despite being one of the smallest exhibition spaces in Europe, White Cube was arguably one of the most influential commercial galleries of its time.
In April 2000, White Cube, Hoxton Square, a second, larger gallery space, opened in London's East End. Housed in a 1920s light industrial building and designed by architects MRJ Rundell and Associates, White Cube, Hoxton Square has 2000 square feet of uninterrupted exhibition space. Though White Cube, Duke Street closed in 2002, White Cube, Mason's Yard opened in September 2006 near the original site. Also designed by MRJ Rundell & Associates, it is the first free-standing building to be built in the St James's area for more than 30 years. Both locations continue White Cube's tradition of international, high profile exhibitions.
