This image has been archived or removed.
It’s a total cliche at this point. Small Chelsea gallery wooed by the Lower East Side packs up the showroom and moves. This narrative has been repeated time and again the last decade. The latest art house to hop onto this proverbial bandwagon – CRG Gallery.
CRG Gallery will soon reopen in 195 Chrystie Street. More precisely, it’ll sit beside the gallery annex of 11 Rivington. The announcement came back in March – via Twitter – but the replacement showroom remains closed for renovations. September is pegged as the official debut, according to owner Richard Desroche.
