The Lobby Gallery of the I.M. Pei designed office tower is now graced with an exhibition of  the vibrant and complex works of a group of painters who were among the participants in the avant garde movement that began in the 1940's known as the New York School.  The exhibition was co-curated by Hines curator Dorothy Solomon of DSA Fine Arts and Elizabeth Sadoff of Elizabeth Sadoff & Assoc..

The exhibition is on view throughout the lobby providing tenants and visitors with a dynamic and inviting display of paintings and works on paper by these five important abstract expressionist artists  to enjoy and contemplate as they pass through the space.  The Lobby Gallery is open to the public seven days a week from 10 AM to 6 PM.  A gala opening reception is planned for April 21 from 5-7 PM.  For more information about the exhibition click here

Exhibiting artwork in commercial venues such as this can become a valuable tool for developers and property managers to market their buildings in today's competitive environment. Art adds to the cachet of a building, and can support branding and leasing efforts.  Art helps set a building apart from its competitors, and provides a unique amenity for existing and prospective tenants.  Art not only visually enhances a property, it is a powerful and cost-effective way to communicate and and can generate positive media coverage about the building.  Art demonstrates a firm's commitment to support local culture for the benefit of the community.
