Three Chelsea Rooms for the Last Two Hours
A 19th Street design showroom and two galleries on West 20th, all inside a two-block walk.
Three Rooms, Two Blocks
Italian Craft Up Close
Artemest fills a West Chelsea showroom with handcrafted Italian furniture, lighting and decor from over a thousand artisans. It exists for designers and collectors sourcing for projects, yet the room rewards anyone curious about how a piece is put together. Start with the case goods, then read the lighting as a set rather than as objects.
Post-War, Then Photography
Two floors up on West 20th, Garth Greenan keeps a contemporary and post-war programme and has opened SoHo spaces; the artist lineup is the reason people return. Bruce Silverstein, in the same building, runs classic and contemporary photography from modern masters to major estates, and the print is the point here, not the wall text. Do the painting floor first, photography last, when the light outside has dropped.
