There is something of an arms race between New York Cityart galleries, with the likes of David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth, and Pace, among other peers, pursuing ground-up spaces designed by the likes of Selldorf Architects and Bonetti/Kozerski. In January, Jack Shainman Gallery similarly expanded its footprint, but with a comprehensive restoration. Led by Gloria Vega Architecture Studio and preservation specialist Higgins Quasebarth & Partners, the project transforms a decades-vacant McKim, Mead & White—designed banking hall into a 20,000-square-foot gallery and operations space.
