Once a refuge for artists who rented cheap industrial lofts, SoHo is now one of the most stylish and exclusive neighborhoods in New York. While many of the artists have long since relocated, much of the art remains.
Squeezed between trendy restaurants and upscale boutiques, dozens of art galleries remain in SoHo. Below are ten of the best.
Staley-Wise Gallery
Located on a cobblestone street around the block from the famed pizzeria Lombardi’s, this gallery focuses on fashion photography and has exhibited giants of the industry like David LaChapelle. Their shows also cover a wide swath of portraiture, including an extensive exhibit by Harry Benson, a Scottish photojournalist with a knack for capturing civil rights riots and early glamour shots of Kate Moss with equal vigor.
