Today, Jack Shainman Gallery—commemorating its 40th anniversary—opens its new space in Tribeca’s historic Clock Tower Building. The grand opening is headlined by an exhibition from Irish artist Richard Mosse, featuring his video installation Broken Spectre (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 Revival building. Formerly a Beaux-Arts bank 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 renowned for championing artists like El Anatsui and Kerry James Marshall. Established in 1984 and headquartered in Chelsea since 1997, Shainman’s gallery has been instrumental in uplifting the New York City art scene. In March, the gallery will close to complete renovations before re-opening to present a new body of work by Nick Cave in September.
