WELCOME “King” TO CHRISTOPHER PARK GALLERY
Yuko Taylor
The seeds of the gallery began while observing people as they contemplated entering a traditional gallery. Many people just did not look comfortable in what appeared to be unfamiliar territory. When the decision was made to open a gallery, we wanted to create an atmosphere where our visitors felt warm and welcomed. We chose to display art in an informal way, more like they way you live in your home. To that end, we used color on the walls, real furniture and lots of ambient lighting. After all, few people live in a home with stark walls, display podiums and spotlights.
