Magnan Metz Gallery Inc

The gallery sits on a stretch of West 26th Street where the Chelsea arts district bleeds into garment-row energy. Magnan Metz Gallery Inc shows contemporary works in adjoining spaces, with a roster that rotates between painting, sculpture, and new-media projects. They’ve kept things lively for years without drawing too much fanfare, which suits the neighborhood’s pace.
