Lehmann Maupin Gallery

A famous photo gallery only a couple of blocks from my office? I wish i had known about this place soonet. I went here.

If you want to visit an interesting art gallery, you must visit this place before they leave for good. I strongly recommend you to bring both your SLR camera and mobile device to take wonderful photos. Everything is quite interesting and unique, so it wasn’t a surprise that I decided to there much longer.
I give this experience a 5 stars, including great customer service.
if you like anything you see, you may purchase it. Yes, bring your check books!
The places closes at June 21^st, so drop by and spare 30 mins.

Came here to see the Lee Bul exhibit. Loved!
The gallery atmosphere is open and inviting. The employees at the front desk said hello to us before we said hello to them (might be an art gallery first for us), and all the employees there let us enjoy the exhibit for as long as we wanted without asking if we were art students or lurking 50 feet behind us to make sure we weren’t doing anything «bad.» Appreciated, guys.
Open 10am-​6pm Tuesday-​Saturday.

The current exhibition «Metamorphosis: Give Me Your Wings» at Lehmann Maupin Gallery in New York presents new works by Japanese artist Mr. A protégée of Takashi Murakami, Mr. is a renowned Japanese pop artist, often taking recognizable manga characters and turning them totally inappropriate. This multifaceted exhibition will also comprise of new paintings that reflect Mr.‘s on-​going exploration of otaku, the Japanese «cute» subculture marked by fetishistic obsession with young adolescents, technology, sci-​fi literature, manga, animé, and video games. Mr. also has envisioned a complex, chaotic installation that serves as immersive sculpture by forcing viewers to interact with the work and places them in a scenario that is psychologically unsettling.

This gallery space is NICE! Spacious with tall ceilings. Nice lighting. I saw a young artist’s work here, Angel Otero. There is two floors but the second floor is just to look down into the main area.
I felt trendy and cool just being in this gallery! eheheh.
