Venus Over Manhattan, the Upper East Side gallery founded by collector and investor Adam Lindemann in 2012, is marking its 10th anniversary by opening a new space downtown in Nolita.We’ve always had an interest in downtown, but the timing never felt quite right before,” Lindemann told Artnet News. “We’re expanding our program to give more attention to younger artists, and younger seems best suited to downtown.
The show, titled “Ana Benaroya: Swept Away,” will include seven paintings and seven works on paper and specifically looks at women’s relationship to water. It closes May 21.Gallery partner Anna Furney said the goal was to connect contemporary artists with historic works Venus Over Manhattan has been championing for the past“You can’t look at an Ana Benaroya painting and not think about Peter Saul, Robert Colescott, or MAD Comics—all the things Venus has been immersed in for some time,” she said.
Great Jones Street “feels like old New York somehow,” Lindemann added. “It’s a distinctive downtown neighborhood that’s got a great young energy but is full of history.”Another bonus? “Our space in Great Jones Street is next to one of my favorite restaurants,” Lindemann said.
