Chelsea in Manhattan in New York County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Adam Cohen
1980 -
Near the turn of the millennium, young Mancunian Adam Cohen, tireless student and enthusiast of Contemporary Art, was invited to apprentice under Larry Gagosian. He booked speedy passage on an Atlantic steamer, a week hence disembarking at New York City's West Chelsea, bustling nucleus of the global art world. Some twenty years later, Cohen still maintains relations with Gagosian. Yet within these walls he hosts an art experience all his own. Visitors are quite welcome.
