jen bekman in the New York Times

Lisa Chamberlain wrote a piece for this Sunday's New York Times about the burgeoning gallery scene sprouting up along the Bowery, focusing largely on the gallery. I haven't seen the article in print yet, but it's avaiable online already. Registration for the NYT site is free, but required to access the article:

New Galleries Set Out To Create a Destination

My favorite quote in the article comes from my neighbor Mitch Epstein. Mitch has championed the gallery since I first opened: participating in two group shows: Made in New York and Home (for the Holidays) as well as doing a book signing shortly for his fabulous, and critically acclaimed, book Family Business. Mitch's quote ends the article:

"My sense of it is there's going to be a change because of the New Museum," said Mitch Epstein, a photographer who has been in the area since 1972... "It will draw more galleries like Jen's, which are a fantastic addition to the cultural life of this neighborhood."

Thanks, Mitch.
