Jonathan Prince Studio/Berkshire House

What Jonathan Prince Studio/Berkshire House does

Jonathan Prince Studio/Berkshire House is a privately-held artistic enterprise founded in 2020 by sculptor Jonathan Prince and curator Stephanie Manasseh, operating from a 500-acre creative compound in Southfield, Massachusetts that includes a 20,000 sq ft fabrication studio housed in a converted early-20th-century barn. The company's core product is Jonathan Prince's monumental steel sculptures, hand-fabricated in-house by a team of approximately 5-6 specialists exploring fractured geometries and the relationship between material and form, sold to high-net-worth private collectors and public institutions on a bespoke, quote-based basis. The enterprise also produces limited-edition collaborative works such as the Spectrum cast glass series (100 cubes per color, made with Czech artist Zdeněk Lhotský) and interdisciplinary projects like the Immanence Embodied sculpture-sound collaboration with composer Joep Beving.

Revenue mechanics rest on three streams: one-time sales of monumental sculptures, limited-edition artwork releases, and recurring experiential events such as the TWELVE farm-to-table dining series. Distribution is appointment-only and relationship-driven, targeting collectors, journalists, and cultural organizations through curated immersive experiences rather than traditional gallery channels. The company expanded to Europe in October 2024 with the inauguration of Maison Berkshire in Brussels, its first European studio and a regional hub for sales, design collaborations, and cultural programming.

The operating model is a hybrid of fine-art studio, luxury cultural venue, and creative agency, differentiated by Prince's rare position as one of the few sculptors fabricating monumental works by hand in his own studio and by the permanent loan of Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing WD 684C from the LeWitt family foundation. Strategic partnerships span luxury publishing (Assouline), home decor (Baobab Collection), philanthropy (grantLOVE/Alexandra Grant), music (Joep Beving, Matteo Myderwyk), and design (Nicolas Pomerleau). The business is fully founder-owned with no external institutional investors, and no public revenue or funding figures are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Pace Gallery: Blue-chip global gallery with deep representation of major contemporary sculptors (e.g., teamLab, Ruth Asawa legacy exhibitions). Comparable in serving the same HNW and institutional collector base purchasing monumental contemporary sculpture.
• Hauser & Wirth: Global gallery with a strong sculptor roster and a hybrid gallery/art-experience model (e.g., Hauser & Wirth Somerset, Menorca). Comparable in blending rural estate-style exhibition venues with international gallery representation and HNW collector programming.
• Lehmann Maupin: International contemporary gallery representing prominent sculptors and installation artists with a strong HNW collector focus. Comparable buyer segment to Berkshire House, though operating a multi-artist gallery model in NYC, London, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
• Gladstone Gallery: Major global contemporary art gallery representing internationally established sculptors and installation artists. Comparable in target collector base and large-scale sculpture representation, but operates a multi-artist, multi-city gallery model rather than a single-artist studio compound.
• Ben Brown Fine Arts: International gallery with strong representation of large-scale sculptors and an HNW-collector focus across London, Hong Kong, and Miami. Comparable buyer pool and sculpture program, though multi-artist gallery rather than a single-artist compound.
• Gagosian: World's largest contemporary art gallery network, representing many of the highest-grossing living sculptors. Comparable as the dominant commercial channel for HNW and institutional buyers of large-scale contemporary sculpture.

Direct peers

• Storm King Art Center: A 500-acre outdoor sculpture park in the Hudson Valley, NY, hosting monumental-scale sculpture in a pastoral landscape. Comparable to Berkshire House in its rural estate setting, monumental sculpture focus, and experiential/art-tourism positioning, though Storm King is a non-profit vs. Berkshire House's private studio model.
• Donald Judd Foundation / Marfa: Operates Judd's preserved living/working spaces in Marfa, Texas as a destination art compound displaying monumental permanent installations. Closely comparable as a single-artist private compound converting a remote property into a cultural destination and sculpture venue.
• The Brant Foundation Art Museum: Private art foundation operating an estate-based sculpture park and exhibition venue in Greenwich, CT. Closely comparable as a private, founder-driven art compound exhibiting monumental contemporary sculpture by invitation.

Emerging players

• Art Omi: Non-profit arts compound in the Hudson Valley combining residency, sculpture park, and public programming on a rural estate. Comparable rural-estate, sculpture-centric, event-driven model, though non-profit and residency-led rather than a private commercial studio.
