It’s rare to have your first gallery designed by Annabelle Selldorf, but for curator Paul Henkel, the architect not only conceived a 3,400-square-foot space but also asked to be part of it. The destination, on New York’s Bond Street, plays host to the first permanent location of Henkel’s pop-up gallery, Palo, as well as the inaugural brick-and-mortar setting for Selldorf’s furniture collection, Vica.
“A space doesn’t have to strictly be a furniture showroom or a gallery,” says Henkel, whose debut exhibition will showcase sculptural paintings by Henry Hudson and ceramics made by him and his brother, Richard Hudson, displayed with Selldorf’s creations.
