Storefront for Art & Architecture

In 1993, Storefront for Art & Architecture in New York commissioned a collaborative building project by artist Vito Acconci and architect Steven Holl. The project replaced the existing façade with a series of wall panels that pivot vertically or horizontally, enabling the entire length of the building to open directly onto the street. To mark its 25th anniversary, Storefront embarked on a project to restore the gallery and its iconic façade. Construction work began on July 1st and on October 15th the gallery reopened with a newly-restored exterior, exhibition space and a micro bookshop. Storefront’s façade is now regarded as a contemporary architectural landmark and is visited each year by thousands of artists, architects and students from around the world. The façade exemplifies Storefront’s commitment to alternative architectural and artistic practices.
