The new gallery in the River Lofts building kicks off with the first New York City show of Moroccan-born Israeli A.Y. Ayache. Future exhibits won't necessarily be by Israeli artists: "I'm open to anything, if it feels right," says founder Zvi Reines.
The original store is in Atlanta, and there's a second in Charleston. Expect European antiques, repurposed objects, lighting, and much more.
We can expect "paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, decorative and ceremonial objects, including selections of Judaica, books and manuscripts."
I'm showing you Howard instead of the building so you'll have to click through if you want to know where. Sorry, but that's doing business on the Internet these days. / 1 comment
