Bortolami will open a set of exhibitions on Wednesday, September 9, with presentations by Christine Safa, Yuan Yuan, and a pairing of Daniel Buren and Barbara Kasten. The gallery’s announcement lists separate opening receptions from 6 to 8 pm on September 9 and gives an exhibition period of 9 September to 24 October 2026. The material also identifies three New York locations in play: Bortolami at 39 Walker, The Upstairs at 39 Walker, and 55 Walker.
According to the gallery’s notice, Christine Safa’s exhibition is titled 'Christine Safa' and will be shown at Bortolami, 39 Walker. Yuan Yuan’s exhibition is titled 'Yuan Yuan' and is listed for The Upstairs, 39 Walker. A further presentation, titled 'Daniel Buren & Barbara Kasten', will take place at 55 Walker. The announcement groups the openings together as a single Wednesday evening event while keeping each exhibition and venue distinct.
The structure of the program points to Bortolami’s use of its different Walker Street spaces to stage concurrent exhibitions rather than a single combined display. The email does not provide curatorial statements or artwork details, but it does establish the artists’ names and the gallery locations clearly. For readers following the New York gallery calendar, the announcement places these shows within an already active fall season, opening on the same evening and continuing through late October.
Christine Safa and Yuan Yuan are both represented in the announcement with studio images credited to the artists, while the notice also includes a photo-souvenir of Daniel Buren and an image of Barbara Kasten, each credited with photography details supplied by the gallery. Those credits appear alongside the exhibition information, but the source does not describe the works themselves. The notice therefore signals the scope of the presentations without adding interpretive claims about content or theme.
Bortolami’s announcement is concise, but it situates the three presentations as part of a coordinated gallery program across 39 Walker and 55 Walker. The gallery’s address is given as 39 Walker Street, New York, NY 10013, and the email directs readers to the gallery website for more information. The opening remains the central verified detail: Wednesday, September 9, 6 to 8 pm, with the exhibitions running from 9 September to 24 October 2026.
