Looking for a minimalistic theme for an art gallery

You have probably found what you are looking for by now, but in my explorations for something similar I found these:
“AutoFocus” by Allen Cole. It’s simple and easy to modify. I’m using it for photography at https://www.e-livingston.com and have had success with it. Check it out at https://allancole.com/wordpress/themes/autofocus/. Allen is very kind about answering questions.
Even more minimalist are these “Photo Nexus” and “Photo Scroll” themes from Theme Forest (https://themeforest.net/item/photo-nexus-wordpress-gallery-2-in-1/38530) ($20). Each theme has both a white and black background version.
The David Zwirner example you like isn’t a WordPress theme. A similar traditional Web site template to that is this “Animated Portfolio” theme: https://themeforest.net/item/animated-portfolio-template/16968 ($12).
