Hugues and April Magen debuted their new space, Magen H. Gallery, at 54 East 11th Street, with a significant exhibition of sculpture, furniture, and ceramics by contemporary American designers and by the iconic 20th-century French masters for which the gallery is well known.
The current exhibit showcases work by Forrest Myers, Terence Main, Howard Meister, François Stahly, and Pierre Szekely, offering visitors an in-depth look and an abbreviated preview of upcoming shows.
"What's exciting about the new space is that it allows us a flexibility we did not have before and increases our ability to enhance and forward the design conversation in the decorative arts.
This show represents a well-crafted, deeply philosophical human exploration, contributing to the art world as a whole," says April Magen.
Designed by leading New York architect Alan Wanzenberg, the new space doubles Magen H. Gallery's exhibit area.
With his emphasis on authenticity, craftsmanship, and design focus, the internationally prominent Wanzenberg, who has earned numerous awards, was the ideal architect to create the Magens' new space.
The launch reflects Hugues and April Magen's optimistic outlook, based upon their gallery's continuing success and economic strength.
