MARLBOROUGH GALLERY, NEW YORK,
TO OPEN A NEW GALLERY IN CHELSEA
Pierre Levai, Director of Marlborough Gallery, New York, has announced that Marlborough will open a gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan's newest art district, on September 18, 1997. The addition of Marlborough Chelsea marks the ninth venue for Marlborough, which, in addition to its 57th Street location in Manhattan, has galleries in London, Madrid, and Santiago, Chile, and offices in Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Zurich.
Marlborough Gallery's program in Chelsea will include exhibitions of work by artists represented by Marlborough as well as exhibitions organized by independent curators that will feature artists represented by Marlborough in addition to other artists. Furthermore, Marlborough Chelsea will house the offices of International Public Art, Ltd. the independent corporation of Marlborough Gallery Inc. formed last fall, which-under the direction of Dale M. Lanzone, formerly Director of the United States Federal Government's public art program-is committed to the development of international public art projects, with an emphasis on the integration of art, architecture, and the urban and natural environments.
"Marlborough Chelsea provides an excellent opportunity for us to continue our commitment to an expanded international presence on behalf of our artists. Moreover, the new gallery will give us an alternate forum to mount exhibitions that are unique and separate from Marlborough Gallery's 57th Street program," stated Pierre Levai.
Located at 211 West 19th Street, Marlborough Chelsea is comprised of architectural elements characteristic of downtown exhibition spaces. The 4,000 square-foot, glass storefront-which has been designed by Mr. Lanzone in collaboration with architect Eli King-features 14 foot ceilings, a concrete floor and a central row of columns.
The Marlborough Chelsea inaugural exhibition, which will be on view September 18 through October 25, will feature large-scale sculpture by gallery artists Magdalena Abakanowicz and Sir Anthony Caro, as well as Louise Bourgeois. This is Anthony Caro's first exhibition with Marlborough since joining the gallery this month. Marlborough Chelsea, 211 West 19th Street, opens to the public Thursday, September 18th. 1997. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
