Today, Jack Shainman Gallery, celebrating its 40th anniversary, opens its new space in Tribeca’s historic Clock Tower building. The grand opening is headlined by an exhibition by Irish artist Richard Mosse, who presents his video installation broken spectrum (2018–2022), which explores the environmental challenges facing the Amazon rainforest.
Located at 46 Lafayette Street, the new gallery space occupies 20,000 square feet within the Italian Renaissance building. Formerly a Beaux-Arts banking hall, the venue is adorned with 29-foot-high ceilings and elegant white marble columns, providing the gallery with the space for large-scale installations.
Jack Shainman Gallery is known for championing artists such as El Anatsui and Kerry James Marshall. Established in 1984 and based in Chelsea since 1997, Shainman’s gallery has been instrumental in elevating the New York art scene. In March, the gallery will close to complete renovations before reopening to present a new work by Nick Cave in September.
