Plant House (Tumblr)
107 West 28th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan

Plant House is a brand new gallery which opened on West 28th street in the middle of Manhattan’s Flower district. How you gonna get back to Jersey, their second exhibition, is their first annual printmaking show, and it runs through August 28.
The owners, Brad Ewing and Katie Michel, have created a gallery with a very inclusive, friendly, laid-back atmosphere.  There is plenty to look at as the show features the work from more than 50 artists, many of the prints are by master printers showing their own work. (Full disclosure: one of my prints is included in this show).
The giant cooler which used to keep the flowers cool, has been renovated and is now a project space gallery, called The Cold Project Room. In it Plant House is presenting a beautiful show of finely rendered drawings and paintings of LA freeway overpasses called LA Freeways by Robert Olson.[sic]
