Wexler Gallery

I think I would have enjoyed Wexler more if I wasn’t so afraid of breaking the $ 32,500 pieces of glass around every corner. Some of the stuff is really impressive, the artists chosen have obvious talent. But the prices paired with the choice of medium kept me too panicky to thoroughly appreciate my surroundings.

While Wexler Gallery is a great addition to Old City it’s a little too overrated for my tastes. It’s almost like lounging around someones classy living room without being allowed to touch anything. It specializes in all kinds of exotic looking furniture and glassworks and much more. the layout really gives you the urge to sit down and take a load off — but don’t you dare unless you’re willing to cough up the $ 1,000+++ price tag.
Lewis Wexler used to be the former vice president of Christie’s before he opened this gallery. So he definitely knows more than a thing or two about decorative 20^th century design. He’s also able to work with plenty of high end clients.
If I’m ever obnoxiously rich I’ll probably fashion that living room for people to lounge in out of stuff from here. Until then I’ll be walking around and looking at the fashionably awkward looking chairs and tables like everyone else.
