(An Appropriate Distance) From the Mayor’s Doorstep

Not all the Manhattan gallery shows worthy of discussion are in Chelsea, SoHo or the Lower East Side. There are still hardy survivors in midtown and on the Upper East Side, and four exhibitions in particular have provided enjoyment for me as winter—at long last—is giving way to spring. Three of them are – or were – at Spanierman, which has been claiming so much of my attention in the last year or so that some readers may be getting suspicious—but really, there is nothing to be suspicious about. The gallery simply seems to be displaying better taste than almost every other.
