NEW YORK, NY.- Stephen Haller Gallery has two big announcements to make: the opening of Finn, again! a group exhibition celebrating the culmination of the gallery’s twelve years at its beautiful West 26th Street Chelsea location, and the announcement of the closing of the 26th Street gallery space this year due to the upcoming demolition of the entire building. News of the next step will be announced soon. The title of the exhibition comes from the last line of James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake which is also the beginning of the first sentence of that book, expressing the end of this outstanding gallery space and a new beginning.

Finn, again! will be a revolving exhibition with the gallery continuing to add and change works in the exhibition through the June14th closing date. These will include works emblematic of high points in the 12 years of the gallery’s beautiful Chelsea space: exceptional works from the gallery’s program of artists, as well as surprising works from the secondary market.

The exhibition will include a multi-generational selection of artists: from art sensations such as Perlmutter Award-winning Sam Jury, Guggenheim Award-winning Linda Stojak, Tracey Emin, the young Oakes Twins, Kate O’Donovan Cook to works by Richard Diebenkorn and the late Larry Zox.

The main gallery currently features Nobu Fukui’s masterwork Synthesis, as well as an iconic Diamond Drill painting from the estate of Larry Zox (in the same palette as the Guggenheim Museum Zox exhibited recently in Bilbao and Berlin).

Outstanding examples of works by Johnnie Winona Ross, Lloyd Martin, Michel Alexis, and Bruno Romeda illuminate themes characteristic of the gallery’s “constant aesthetic,” in the words of Michael Kimmelman of the NYTimes. Art critic Maureen Mullarkey described it as “a seductive minimalism, one that retains some whisper of lived experience.”
