111 Fourth Avenue

This is an image I submitted to Michael Kadosh of CB Richard Ellis as a proposal for an exhibition in the vacant retail space at Fourth Avenue and 12th Street. I'd long admired that space when it was Gallagher's Art & Fashion Gallery and would often go in and check out the books and prints. I even visited Gallagher's sprawling basement archive around the corner. Walking down Fourth Avenue a few weeks ago I snapped a picture of the empty space and wrote down the contact info for the broker. I played around with the photo, added some other elements and came up with this montage. I called up Kadosh and we spoke briefly, but he never did get back to me regarding my pitch. I figured it would be a no brainer to drop in a pool table and put up some prints, even if only for a month. Think it's a good idea? Then let him know.
