Lehmann Maupin Gallery – New York

The Lehmann Maupin Gallery is located in a two-storey industrial building in New York City’s Chelsea neighbourhood. Contrary to many of the galleries in the area, the design of the Lehmann Maupin Gallery provides an alternative to the typical “white box” art gallery.

The three major components of the program, art exhibition, administration and art storage, were organized as overlapping activities, each defined as an inserted form within the existing shell of the industrial building.
