Once an industrial section of warehouses and cold cement patios oxidation rail with a series of yellow cabs Incidentally, the Chelsea now shines with art galleries, trendy restaurants and new residential expensive first explosion. The conversion has been gradual, with a curious relationship symbiotic relationship between the industrial and commercial center of art.
Yossi Milo Gallery of Photography upstairs there is a taxi garage. The mausoleum minimalist PaceWildenstein on West 25th Street is old artist cooperatives. art collectors elite rub shoulders with auto mechanics as they walk through the streets. But Despite this unusual relationship, after more than ten years of growth, the neighborhood of Chelsea has more than 250 galleries ranging from 13 west to west of 29th Street and 10th Avenue to the West Side Highway in Manhattan, about twice the number of galleries in SoHo was the 1990s.
Migration to Chelsea is a massive New York City event that has never happened before. All species of existing art galleries in Chelsea in the different stages of development. Its crop is parallel realities galleries that cater to different audiences and markets avant-garde to academic. With art from as far afield as India and as near Williamsburg, Chelsea reflects the global marketplace of contemporary art.
"Chelsea are now the dominant market for art culture in New York, "said Renee Vara, an associate professor at the University of New York and professor at the Guggenheim Museum, where she teaches art history, art theory and museology and is a private independent curator and art historian. "It provides efficiency and a separate enclave with a collective element and attractive."
Progress in Chelsea began in 1988 with the opening of the Dia Foundation, now Dia Center for the Arts. This pioneering cultural set up camp in a neighborhood where spaces were large and rents were cheap. In late 1994, Matthew Marks, then a young Upper East Side dealer, extended to West 22nd Street and began the art scene "party" to the new neighborhood. At that time, it was impossible to predict how Chelsea would become or how fast changes would happen.
Paula Cooper arrived in 1996. Cooper first opened art gallery in SoHo in 1968 and then joined about 15 art dealers and moved to Chelsea in the west. The space in Chelsea opened its doors in an old garage in West 21st Street, between Avenues 10 and 11. Given the prominence of Cooper in the world of art and its role in the development of SoHo, art and business Real Estate took the initiative as a sign that the neighborhood west of 10th Avenue and 20 Street bound by 26th and was about to be transformed.
The transformation Chelsea was the response of the rents had gotten out of control in SoHo. With most galleries and not have rent their spaces in SoHo, galleries sought new businesses in other areas where rents were cheaper or the option of owning a building is presented. The idea of Chelsea at the time was ripe when the art world was ready to break with old traditions SoHo. They found them at Chelsea.
As Chelsea dominated the art scene, said Mary Boone another stage of his personal evolution as a provider through the establishment of a branch of his gallery of high-profile Chelsea. Gluckman Mayner Architects created a spectacular Boone Gallery in Chelsea. Boone association with Richard Gluckman goes back to his days at West Broadway. He also designed his gallery at 745 Fifth Avenue.
Boone opened its first space in SoHo on Broadway in 1979 in moving the same building that housed legendary Leo Castelli and Ileana Sonnabend galleries of. Boone later looked for space on 57th Street in the traditional neighborhood of the art world of New York.
The design and details of the Chelsea gallery originated from the design of its upper space. The architect created a powerful juxtaposition between the details associated with their work and tough quality original wooden beams and wooden board the ceiling, the arches are exposed in space. The floors are concrete slab with steel trowel, which mimics the upper soil treatment. And the FA-glass shop CADE a translucent design recalls Gluckman Gallery in West Broadway Boone. At Chelsea, the three rooms receive natural light through the translucent windows in the reception area and through a small central skylight in the rear. The main exhibition area of 12 feet wide, contains a translucent skylight that runs the length of the 24-foot high wall display. Foci lighting.
As the Chelsea area continued to transform, people moved the first conversion expensive loft in the area of West 22nd Street. Savanna Partners, a young real estate development company, bought the property at auction in July 1994 for $ 3 million. Because of zoning requirements, Savanna Partners took a year and a half to get the approvals, despite the fact that manufacturing activity was very little and little hope for any further industrial growth.
Today, Savannah is based lofts huge rents for street-level spaces to galleries and restaurants. Not very far south, at 17th Street, on the World Wide Holdings Corp. does something similar, and the Meatpacking District of the Far West Village has almost disappeared and old warehouses are being converted into apartments.
Among the gallery spaces of SoHo Chelsea are other exiles like John Weber, Barbara Gladstone, Pictures Arts, Gallery 303, Bose Pacia Gallery, and the Agora Gallery.
"Chelsea to gain access to critics and curators who make regular round to look in the galleries "Said Dr. Steve Pacia, co-founder and partner in cooperation with Dr. Arani Bose of Bose Pacia Gallery on West 26th Street.
Bose Pacia Gallery, established in 1994 in Soho, was the first gallery in the West specializing in contemporary art from South Asia. During the past ten years, Bose Pacia has held over 30 exhibitions and is considered internationally to promote the South Asian avant-garde. Visual artists from South Asia work within a single space to be be informed by many cultures, languages and religions. Bose Pacia fosters an active discourse between these artists and the international art community with exhibitions that contextualize contemporary art from this geographic region within its rich artistic tradition and social tensions in progress.
Founded in 1984 in Soho by an artist of Art, Agora Gallery more than doubled its space when it moved to Chelsea in 2003. A gallery without borders, Agora was one of the pioneer galleries provide representing both national and international artists.
Recent interviews conducted by its director, Angela Di Bello, in Business News Weekend (NBC) Hellenic Public Radio, and The Wall Street Journal have attracted extra attention and visitors to Chelsea.
The New Museum SoHo also made an intermediate in Chelsea, but has closed its doors, with the exception of the library space in the Chelsea Art Museum for a year and a half until the construction of its highly anticipated new building on the Bowery opens.
