Jack Shainman Gallery

The Jack Shainman Gallery is spacious and well lit. It consists of a hallway, a great room, and two mini rooms. Admission is free so roam around and definitely do make the effort all the way to 10^th Ave. It’s so worth it.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt frightened at an art gallery before but at the Jack Shainman Gallery I did. I was the only one wandering through the gallery and I was face to face with the art of Bharti Kher. They say art can move you. Kher’s art makes such a statement and is so powerful I was literally breathless at times and took brave steps towards her sculptures of an oversized whale heart, an almost life like elephant, and a wolf. Kher experiments with porportions with her tree, bindi art, and chair sculpture. At times I felt like I was Alice in Wonderland. Kher dares to push the envelope, open your eyes to another world, and connect through culture, soul, and imagery. This is her first exhibition at the Jack Shainman Gallery and it only runs through Dec. 22.
