Overview
- Lubov posted the announcement of Correa Cordero’s death on its Instagram account and said he “passed away peacefully” but offered no cause of death or age.
- Artists, curators, and colleagues responded with public tributes that praised his support for experimental and labor‑intensive work and his role building a close community.
- Correa Cordero opened Lubov in 2016 and moved it to 5 East Broadway in 2019, cultivating an eclectic program of site‑specific and emerging artists that drew regular coverage from major art publications.
- Before founding Lubov he worked at Exit Art, Martos, and Yancey Richardson and served as executive coordinator at Independent Curators International from 2015 to 2022, roles that shaped his curatorial network.
- The gallery’s website still lists a fall solo by Kane Huynh and its most recent exhibition closed in June, and Lubov has not issued formal statements about operational plans following the announcement.
