Venus Over Manhattan Announces Second New York Space
by Sam Gaskin
Another gallery that's expanding is Venus Over Manhattan, which will open a second New York space in celebration of their 10th anniversary.
Their new 370-square-metre space is located at 55 Great Jones Street, beside a carriage house formerly owned by Andy Warhol and used as a studio by Jean-Michel Basquiat.
The new gallery will open with an exhibition of muscular women paintings by Jersey City artist Ana Benaroya entitled Swept Away.
Venus Over Manhattan will continue to show at their existing space on East 65th Street.
The gallery also announced the launch of Venus Digital, a division focused on commissioning and exhibiting digital art and NFTs.
Their first project is an exhibition by Art Blocks founder Erick Calderon, also known as Snowfro, in June. Snowfro is the artist behind the series of generative works called Chromie Squiggles. —[O]
