I wrote a few weeks back about the opening of the new David Adjaye designed Arario gallery in NYC and the inaugural kick-off exhibition featuring a variety of Chinese artists including Fang Lijun. Here's a link to a Bloomberg article on the new space. Quoting from the article:
In the latest example of the
increasingly global art market, a South Korean gallery opened its
New York branch with an exhibition of Chinese artists -- in a
space designed by a Tanzanian-born, British architect. Arario Gallery, owned by Korean entrepreneur and collector
Ci Kim, has branches in Seoul and Cheonan, South Korea, as well
as Beijing. Arario made its Chelsea debut earlier this month with "Absolute Images II," a group show featuring such market
darlings as Zhang Xiaogang and Yue Minjun. It also hired
architecture's rising star David Adjaye, who just completed the
Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, to design the gallery's vast
new home.
