In 2007, the gallery moved into 20 East 79th Street, the former gallery of Paul Rosenberg & Co., designed by Francis d'Haene. In 2019, Skarstedt opened a second space in New York’s Upper East Side, located in a 25,000-square-foot space at 19 East 64th Street.[3]

In 2012, Skarstedt expanded with a gallery in London at 8 Bennett Street, designed by Thomas Croft.[4]

Skarstedt opened its East Hampton gallery in 2020 at 66 Newtown Ln.[5] That same year, Skarstedt opened a pop-up in Palm Beach, exhibiting Richard Prince Nurses and new sculptures by KAWS.
